ROUTE AND ATTACH

DC LEADS Each 6-footlong DC lead consists of two wires—red (+) and black (-)—with installed in-line fuses and ring terminals that connect to the posts of each battery. Ensure each battery post is free of corrosion. For this project, the No. 1 and No. 2 leads attach to the cranking batteries, while the No. 3 lead goes to the house battery. Route and support the leads along their runs, and connect ring terminals tightly to the battery posts, ensuring the polarity is correct. If there is excess cable, coil it up and secure it. Do not cut the leads to shorten them.
