Battery Installation
When installing a new battery, make sure it's fully charged prior to its
initial use. Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can
damage the battery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle
performance. Follow the battery charging instructions on page 139
before installing the battery.
1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Set the battery in the battery holder.
3. Place the battery shield on the battery bracket. Install the screw to
secure the shield.
Torque: 7 ft-lbs (10 Nm)
4. Install the battery hold-down strap.
5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.
6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.
CAUTION! Verify the battery cables and wiring harness do not come into
contact with the brake disc. Move the wiring harness/cables behind the chassis
tube and away from the brake disc.
