  1. Loosen nut on ground line (1) and remove ground line (1) from negative terminal of on-board electrical system battery (G1).

    NOTESInstallation:  Ensure that the ground line (1) is seated tightly, otherwise the electrical system may be damaged.

  2. Using a diode test lamp, check the electrical system for voltage between the positive line of the on-board electrical system battery (G1) and the disconnected ground line (1).

    NOTES If the diode test lamp lights up, the on-board electrical system is still active because of a defect in the electrical system.

    In this case the ground line of the additional battery should be disconnected.

    After this the electrical system is to be repaired upon completion of the work carried out.

  3. Connect in reverse order.
