Battery Connections for Electric Starter (applicable types)
Use a 12-volt battery with an ampere-hour rating of at least 18 Ah.
Be careful not to connect the battery in reverse polarity, as this will
short circuit the battery charging system. Always connect the
positive (+) battery cable to the battery terminal before connecting
the negative (–) battery cable, so your tools cannot cause a short
circuit if they touch a grounded part while tightening the positive
(+) battery cable end.
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct
procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials
away from the battery.
The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte), which is
highly corrosive and poisonous.
Getting electrolyte in your eyes or on your skin can
cause serious burns.
Wear protective clothing and eye protection when
working near the battery.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
1. Connect the battery positive (+) cable to the starter solenoid
terminal as shown.
2. Connect the battery negative (–) cable to an engine mounting
bolt, frame bolt, or other good engine ground connection.
3. Connect the battery positive (+) cable to the battery positive
(+) terminal as shown.
