Harley Davidson: Vent Cover & Battery Cables

Video Transcript

Okay, there's two tabs. These two tabs right here. You just want to make sure that they're lined up on these two rubber inserts here. If they're not on, it's just not going to work right. Okay, so there's that one, and there's that one. Then it's just a matter of tightening up that screw. And there she goes. Just snug her up. Don't over tighten it. You don't want to abuse your equipment. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you. Okay, now what we're going to do next is we're going to connect the battery terminals here. And so I'll just grab my ten millimeter and we'll come up here and we will connect the positive cable. Okay, just always finger start it. You don't want to cross-thread it, the price of the batteries. You don't need any kind of unnecessary grief. So go ahead and snug that up. Again, when you're working around the battery any type of live wire, I always recommend you take off your ring, you take off your watch. I've worked around mechanics and I've seen some bad things happen by shorting that crossed. Always think safety first. Nothing is that important that it can't be done--take time to be done the right way, and be done safely. Okay, so there we have it. And we'll go ahead and put that on there for protection.
