1. When replacing, jumping, or otherwise connecting
the battery to the battery cables, the proper
polarity must be observed. Failure to observe
the proper polarity could result in damage to the
charging circuit. The positive (+) battery cable
has a red terminal cover.
2. If the battery requires charging from an external
charger, disconnect the negative battery cable
first and then the positive battery cable before
attaching the charger leads. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the internal charger
components. When reconnecting the cables,
connect the positive cable first and the negative
cable last.
