Attached to the interior of battery box lid is a WARN- ING plate. This plate stresses the need to prevent sparks near the battery. When another battery or 24VDC power source is used for auxiliary power, all switches must be "Off" prior to making any connec- tions. When connecting auxiliary power cables, posi- tively maintain correct polarity; connect the positive (+) leads together and then connect the negative (-) lead of the auxiliary power cable to a good frame ground. Do not connect to the negative post of the truck battery or near the battery box. This hookup completes the circuit while minimizing danger of sparks near the batteries.
