Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories 

contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known 

to the State of California to cause cancer and 

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

When attaching battery cables, always 

connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal first, 

followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.

For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment 

may have been left disconnected from the terminals at the 

factory. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:

NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The 

negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).
NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip 

ahead to step 2.

1. 

Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive battery 

terminal and attach the red cable to the positive battery 

terminal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-6.

2. 

Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative 

battery terminal and attach the black cable to the negative 

battery terminal (–) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-6.

3. 

Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery 

terminal to help protect it from corrosion.
NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown 

on top/side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in 

the Maintenance section your Operator’s Manual prior to
