cables from 10 to 15 ft--lb (14 to 20 N--m).
NOTE: Before connecting the negative (ground) cable
to the battery, connect a digital multimeter (set to DC
Amps) between the negative battery post and the nega-
tive (ground) cable connector. The reading should be
less than 0.1 amp. If the reading is 0.1 amp or more, the
machine’s electrical system should be tested for short
circuits or faulty components and repaired.
