WARNING
• If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, replace or clean them as necessary. Failure to do so
may cause them to overheat during operation and could result in fire, property damage, or personal injury.
Be sure battery clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 144 in-lb (16 N-m). A loose battery clamp may allow the battery to
become damaged from vibration or jarring.
If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged any longer than
absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).
