CAUTION
When removing a battery from a vehicle, note the location of the positive
(+) battery terminal. This will allow the replacement battery to be installed
in the same location and avoid the danger of reversing polarity of the
circuit. Install battery lead identification labels (Figure 3-7) if they are
missing. If you hook up a battery in reverse polarity, you will damage the
vehicle electrical system and radios.
