WARNING!
Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can
cause severe injury if allowed to contact the skin or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas
is vented from the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be
ignited by any electrical arc, spark or
fl
ame. Do not install any lead-acid battery in a
sealed container or enclosure. Hydrogen gas from overcharging must be allowed
to escape.
When Servicing Batteries...
•
Remove all jewelry
•
Do not smoke
•
Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
•
Work in a well-ventilated area
•
Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
•
ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable
fi
rst when replacing batteries to
prevent sparks.
•
ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
CAUTION!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are
not installed and connected properly. Nil
fi
sk-Advance, a quali
fi
ed electrician, or the

fi
le a damage claim.
2
Turn the Master Key Switch
(A)
OFF and remove the key.

compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in
FIGURE 1
. Secure the batteries as close to the back of the machine as possible.
5
Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.
6
Carefully tighten the nut in each battery terminal until the terminal will not turn. Do not over-tighten the terminals, or they will be very dif
fi
cult to
remove for future service.
7
Coat the terminals with spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).
