Chassis Battery Installation

[prose]

Help! We were among those that disconnected without taking pictures! Now we have new batteries and no idea how to hook them up. Any diagrams/pictures out there that will help?

At 78 yrs young I do not take un-necessary chances when lifting. My solution to change out batteries recently was to back my truck close to battery bay. I then placed a 2x10 from truck to battery tray and secured well. It was simple to slide the battery on the 2x10 into the back of truck. I did the same thing when installing batteries. Be sure to secure the 2x10 board or you will drop everything.

It's a fairly safe bet the big wire from the relay goes to the + terminal and the wire to the frame goes to the -. From there it's a question of how many batteries and 6 or 12 V.
