• Terminate the positive battery cable at the Battery (+) terminal block.
• Terminate the negative battery cable at the Battery (-) terminal block.
• Tighten the terminal screws. Required torque: 2.5 - 3 Nm (22.1 – 26.5 lb-in).
Ensure that the polarity at the battery terminal blocks matches the polarity of the external
