Preventing Battery Damage

Be sure alternator connections are correct before cables are connected to battery.

Carefully observe polarity when attaching booster battery.

Do not operate the engine with alternator or battery disconnected.

Do not short across battery or alternator terminals, or allow battery positive (+) cable or alternator wire to become grounded.

Do not polarize the alternator.

Disconnect battery cables before using an electric welder on the machine.

Store batteries below 27°C (80°F) for maximum shelf life. Check voltage after storage, and recharge as needed, as recommended by battery manufacturer.

Do not store batteries in discharged state, or stack batteries on top of each other.
