Battery Installation
NOTICE: Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the
battery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle
performance. Always install a fully charged battery.
1. Ensure that the battery is
fully charged.
2. Place the battery in the
battery holder. Make sure
the positive terminal is
toward the passenger side
of the vehicle.
3. Install the battery vent
tube and route it down in
front of the shift cable,
into the left front wheel
well.
4. Route the vent tube
through the hole in the
frame support from the
back side and place it
behind the wheel well
panel.
NOTICE: Route the vent tube as
shown to prevent
electrolyte from
damaging critical
components such as
the wire harness, brake lines and throttle cable.
5. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
6. Connect and tighten the red positive (+) cable first.
7. Connect and tighten the black negative (-) cable last.
