sories on the threaded portion of the post.

If you have automotive battery posts, place a

the main cable, and then the wires from the
accessories.

Tighten all connections securely and coat the
installation with Triple-Guard grease.
WARNING
Keep the battery connections clean,
tight, and insulated to prevent their
shorting or arcing and causing an
explosion. If the battery mounting sys-
tem does not cover the connections,
install covers. Check often to see that
connections stay clean and tight.
