Battery Post/terminal, Handling Instructions







CAUTION:
In order to prevent damage to the battery terminals and battery posts, observe the following:
- Battery terminals must only be placed on battery posts - arrows - without using force (by hand only).
- Do not apply grease to battery terminals or posts.
- Battery terminals must be securely and fully seated on the battery post before tightening (battery post flush with terminal or protruding slightly from terminal).
- Battery terminals that are torqued to specification must NOT be tightened any further. Terminal damage will result.
- Battery terminal tightening torques depend on model and application.
