A. If the battery clamp of the POSITIVE (+) battery
terminal/post is NOT mounted in the orientation
shown in FIGURE 5, perform the following:
Loosen the hex nut that secures the battery clamp
to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post.
CAUTION
When tightening the clamps,
always use a box wrench. Pliers will
“round off” the nuts. NEVER wiggle
