Installation and Connection

1.	Run lifting strap rearward across the bottom of the battery tray, then up and across the frame crossmember.
2.	See Figure 2. Place the battery into the battery tray, terminal side forward.
	NOTICE Connect the cables to the correct battery terminals. Failure to do so could result in damage to the motorcycle electrical system. (00215a) WARNING Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a) NOTICE Do not over-tighten bolts on battery terminals. Use recommended torque values. Over-tightening battery terminal bolts could result in damage to battery terminals. (00216a)
3.	Verify that ignition switch is in OFF position. Connect both battery cables, positive battery cable first. Tighten to 6.8–7.9 N·m (60–70 in-lbs).
	NOTICE Keep battery clean and lightly coat terminals with petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. Failure to do so could result in damage to battery terminals. (00217a)
4.	Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly or ELECTRICAL CONTACT LUBRICANT to both battery terminals.
5.	Fold lifting strap forward over top of battery.
6.	See Figure 1. Place top caddy into position and engage latch on hold-down bracket.
7.	Fasten top caddy to frame crossmember with screws (5). Tighten to 8.1–10.9 N·m (72–96 in-lbs).
8.	If equipped, engage HFSM antenna (3) and purge solenoid (2) on top caddy. Verify that all other connectors and harnesses are routed below the purge solenoid mounting tongue.
9.	Secure connectors (7) to anchors on top caddy.
10.	Latch ECM (1) into place on top caddy.
11.	Secure harnesses to frame with cable straps (4).
