1.2.2 BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION (ELECTRIC START

The unit has been deliberately shipped with the battery cables
disconnected. You will need a 10mm wrench to secure the battery
cables.
To connect the battery (see Figure 17 for connection details):
1. Cut off cable ties securing battery cables and remove red
covers from battery terminals.
2. First, connect the red cable to the positive (+) battery terminal
with the bolt, lock washer and nut supplied.
3. Connect the black cable to the negative (-) battery terminal
with the bolt, lock washer and nut supplied.
4. Make sure all connections are secure. Slide the rubber boots
over the terminals and connection hardware.
If the battery is unable to start the engine, charge it with the
12V charger included in the accessory box (see the "Charging a
Battery" section for details).
