and  insulated  to  prevent  their  shorting  or
arcing and causing an explosion. If the bat-

connections, install covers. Check often to
see that connections stay clean and tight.

Service
Installation
Before  servicing  the  battery  or  the  outboard,  re-
move both battery cables from the battery, BLACK
(–) cable first. Keep metal objects from contacting
either battery post.
Read and understand the safety information sup-
plied with your battery BEFORE you begin installa-
tion.
IMPORTANT: Service electrical components only
while the outboard is NOT running. Be careful when
identifying positive and negative battery cables and
posts. If you touch the wrong post with a battery ca-
ble, even briefly, the charging system will be dam-
aged.
IMPORTANT:  Place  the  battery  in  a  hold-down
system and in a location that is easily accessible for
frequent checking and recharging.
Place a large-surface star washer over the battery’s
positive (+) post. Stack the RED battery cable from
the motor on the star washer, then install cables
from  accessories  (if  any).  Finish  the  connection
with a hex nut and tighten it firmly with a wrench.
WARNING
Connect  the motor’s BLACK battery cable to the
battery’s negative (–) post in the same manner.
Battery electrolyte is acidic — handle with
care. If electrolyte contacts any part of the
body, immediately flush with water and seek
medical attention.
