6. Remove filler caps. Slowly add electrolyte to each cell
until level is up to fill ring. Install filler caps.
Important Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte will
overflow onto other parts of the vehicle and severe
corrosion and deterioration will result.
7. Slide battery into battery base so battery terminals are
toward the rear of the vehicle.
8. Install the positive cable (red) to the positive (+)
terminal and the negative cable (black) to the negative
(—) terminal of the battery and secure with capscrews
and nuts. Slide the rubber boot over the positive
terminal to prevent possible short–out from occurring.
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in
personal injury.

cable before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable
before connecting the negative (black) cable.
