Charging
• Always remove battery from machine before
charging. Charging battery on machine may
cause damages to electrical parts or wiring
harness.
• Connect cables to correct terminals on bat-
tery. Connecting to wrong terminals will
immediately blow fuse and damage battery
and electrical system.
•
When disconnecting, disconnect ground ter-
minal first. When installing, connect ground
terminal last. Do not reverse this order, or
short-circuit and electric shock can occur,
resulting in fire, property or personal dam-
age, injury or death.
• When reinstalling battery, make sure to con-
nect cables to correct terminals, and route
and secure cables with tightening bolt so
that they will not cause a short circuit with
the other parts on machine.
