battery terminals are unmarked, we
recommend that you return the battery to the
retailer for exchange for a properly marked
battery or let an authorized service center install the battery for you. Failure
to connect the battery properly can possibly cause bodily injury. In addition,
extensive engine electrical damage not covered under warranty can result.
