CONNECTING A BATTERY
1. Battery: A 12 volt sealed battery with a minimum ampere-
hour rating of 24 Ah is required (battery not included).
Battery cables: Select battery cables to avoid greater than
2.
.05 volt drop in the cable during starter motor
operation.
3. Battery Cable size and length: (Gauge x length)
Positive Cable: AWG No. 4 x 1.5 m (5.0 ft) maximum.
Negative Cable: AWG No. 4 x 2.3 m (7.5 ft) maximum.
4. Wiring Precautions:
A. Connect the battery positive (+) cable (A) to the starter
solenoid terminal.
B. Connect the battery negative (-) cable (B) to the engine
crankcase or engine frame mounting bolt.
C. Do not route the battery cables on or near any hot,
moving or rotating parts or sharp edges. Keep the
battery cables and electrical wires away from the fuel
line.
D. Protect positive electrical connections with a cover or
insulation.
CAUTION:
Failure to connect and disconnect in the
proper sequence can cause equipment damage. Ensure there
is a clean tight fit from the cables to the post.
WARNING:
Remove the cable from the negative (-)
side of the battery before servicing.
Servicing of batteries are to be performed or supervised by
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precau-
Tank Pressure Relief Valve (see A)
If the unloader valve (see B) does not open when pres-
sure reaches the preset level, this valve will pop open automati-
cally to prevent overpressurization. To operate manually, pull the
ring on the valve to relieve air pressure in the tank.
Tank Pressure Gauge (see C)
This gauge measures the pressure level of the air stored
in the tank. It is not adjustable by the operator, and does not
indicate line pressure.

BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. The
following procedures are to be followed:
• Do not smoke when near batteries.
• Do not cause flame or spark in battery area.
• Discharge static electricity from body before
touching batteries by first touching a grounded

metal surface.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The battery
is capable of exploding.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries.
Released electrolyte has been known to be
harmful to the skin and eyes and to be toxic.
WARNING:
shock and a high short circuit current. The following precau-
tions are to be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of
batteries.
• Disconnect charging source prior to
connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
• Determine if the battery is inadvertently
grounded. When inadvertently grounded,
remove source of ground. Contact with any
part of a grounded battery is capable of
resulting in electrical shock. The risk of such
shock is reduced when such grounds are
removed during installation and maintenance.
• Failure to connect and disconnect in the proper
sequence can cause equipment damage.
Ensure there is a clean tight fit from the cables
to the post.
