Step-by-Step Installation Guide
-
Always Connect Positive First: The golden rule is to always connect the positive/red terminal first. This minimizes the risk of short circuits.
-
Position the Terminal: Push the terminal clamp down onto the battery post until it touches the top of the battery. Ideally, the top of the post should protrude slightly beyond the top of the terminal end.
-
Secure the Clamp: Use a wrench or socket to securely fasten the terminal clamp nut. Tighten it adequately to ensure a firm connection.
Following these steps will ensure a safe and reliable connection.
