Battery cable connections
« on: January 22, 2011, 12:07:10 AM »
Greetings.
I am trying to replace a battery, but unsure about the cable and wire connections. Does black connect to negative? Red to positive? There are secondary wires. Does the red secondary also go to the + and green to the - ?

Thanks for any help. The wiring diagram in the manual is to indistinct to read...

The negative is grounded to the frame.
Thus it is called the "ground" in the USA  or "earth" in Europe.
And you can mentally make a jump from earth to green as in grass which grow on the earth....

Scoot safely,
