Carrier and Hold-Down

The battery carrier and hold-down clamp should be clean and free from corrosion before installing battery.

The carrier should be in a sound condition so that it will hold the battery securely and keep it level. Make certain there are no parts in the carrier before installing battery.

To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, the hold-down bolts should be torqued to 18 N.m (13 lb. ft.).
