Making Battery Compartment Connections
To make battery connections in the battery compartment, a
battery heater pad (optional), batteries, and battery cable must
be installed. The paragraphs below provide a description of
these procedures.
3.8.1
Installing the Heater Pad (optional)
An optional battery heater pad can be ordered and used with
the battery box. If used, unroll the heater pad. Place the heater
pad into the bottom of the battery compartment (Figure 13),
connector cable side up, and connector end on the right side of
the tray. Spread out the pad to cover the compartment floor.
Connect the heater pad’s connector to the battery cable (Con-
nector C in Figure 12) in Paragraph 3.8.2 after the battery cable
is installed.
3.8.2
Installing the Battery Cable
A special battery cable (Figure 12) is shipped with the battery
box, to facilitate backup battery connections. The battery
compartment end of this cable contains 4 connectors (shown as
connectors A, B, C, D in Figure 12), which are connected to the
batteries and the battery heater pad in the battery compart-
ment. The power end of the cable also contains 4 connectors
(shown as connectors E, F, G, and H in Figure 12), which are
connected to AC and DC power connectors in the main cabinet
above the battery box. The middle of the cable contains a spe-
cial grommet (fitting with a threaded coupler and lock nut)
which is installed in the hole at the bottom of the Boxer main
cabinet. Follow the steps below to connect the battery cable.
1.
Locate battery cable.
Find the battery cable located inside
the kit of parts shipped with the battery box, and remove
it from its protective wrapping. Note the special water-
proof grommet and nut in the middle area of the cable.
2.
Remove knock-out in main Boxer cabinet.
If not already
removed, locate the main cabinet’s bottom knock-out that
is provided for the battery cable and remove the knock-
out.
3.
Remove nut from battery cable’s middle grommet.
Un-
screw and remove the lock nut from the threaded end of
the special grommet in the middle of the battery cable.
4.
Route power end of cable into the the main Boxer cabinet.
Starting inside the battery box battery compartment,
route the
Power
or
main cabinet end
of the cable (with the
E, F, G, and H power connectors) up through the previous-
ly removed grommet lock nut installed in the knock-out
hole in the cabinet, and into the main boxer cabinet. Pull
the battery cable up as far as it will go, until the special
grommet in the middle of the cable abuts the hole edges
and the threaded part protrudes into the main cabinet.
5.
Secure cable’s middle grommet in the knock-out hole.
Press and hold the cable’s special grommet against the
knock-out hole and screw the threaded lock nut back onto
the threaded part of the grommet. Fully tighten the nut.
6.
Install optional battery heater pad.
Install the optional
battery heater pad, if ordered or equipped. Place the pad
on the battery compartment floor, with the cable/connec-
tor end facing to the right (it should abut the divider wall
between compartments).
7.
Connect heater pad to battery cable.
Locate the connector
at the end of the heater pad cable and connect it to Con-
nector C of the battery cable.
