- 3). Mount the battery separator using the included mounting bolts and your power drill.
- 4). Wrap the end of one length of electrical wire around the terminal marked "Main" on the battery separator.
- 5). Wrap the end of the same wire around the (+) terminal on the main battery of the vehicle.
- 6). Wrap the end of another length of electrical wire around the terminal marked "Auxiliary" on the battery separator.
- 7). Wrap the opposite end of the wire around the "Positive" terminal of the auxiliary battery in your vehicle.
- 8). Wrap the end of another length of electrical wire around the "Ground" terminal on the battery separator. Wrap the other end around the negative terminal on your vehicle chassis.
