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.
Do not use a booster battery and jumper
cables to start the engine. Fumes vented
can cause explosion and fire, resulting in
property damage, serious injury, or death.

Keep the battery connections clean, tight
and insulated to prevent their shorting or
arcing and causing an explosion. If the bat-
tery mounting system does not cover the
connections, install covers. Check often to
see that connections stay clean and tight.
Stop the engine and check the fuel system for
leaks.
WARNING
Failure to check for fuel leakage could allow
a leak to go undetected, resulting in fire or
explosion.
