Installation
Marine Battery Posts — install each main ca-
ble on the post with a star washer below it.
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is acidic — handle
with care. If electrolyte contacts any part
of the body, immediately flush with water
and seek medical attention.
Do not use a booster battery and jumper
cables to start the outboard. Gasoline
fumes can cause explosion and fire,
resulting in property damage, personal
injury or death.
WARNING
Keep the battery connections clean,
tight, and insulated to prevent their
shorting or arcing and causing an explo-
sion. If the battery mounting system
does not cover the connections, install
covers. Check often to see that connec-
tions stay clean and tight.
WARNING
Read and understand the safety informa-
tion supplied with your battery BEFORE
you begin installation.
NOTICE
Make sure all components are clean and
free of corrosion. Connect the RED (+)
cable to the positive (+) battery post first.
Connect the BLACK (–) cable to the neg-
ative (–) battery post last.
NOTICE
DO NOT use wing nuts on battery con-
nections even if they came with the bat-
tery. Wing nuts can loosen and cause
errant warning signals or electrical sys-
tem damage.
