Battery Connections for Electric Starter
Recommended Battery:
Be careful not to connect the battery in reverse polarity, as this
will short circuit the electrical system. Always connect the
positive (+) battery cable to the battery terminal before
connecting the negative (–) battery cable, so your tools cannot
cause a short circuit if they touch a grounded part while
tightening the positive (+) battery cable end.
Make sure to keep the battery cable away from the ECU (engine
control unit).
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct
procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials
away from the battery.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after
handling.
Make sure the engine switch to the OFF position.
