The durable construction and corrosion-resistant finish provide long-lasting reliability in road and show applications.

  • Heavy-duty stamped steel construction for strength and longevity.
  • Corrosion-resistant finish helps resist rust in engine-bay environments.

Suggested Tools:
  • Socket set or wrench (common sizes: 1/2" and 9/16")
  • Ratchet
  • Adjustable wrench (optional)
  • Wire brush or rag (for cleaning tray area)
  • Gloves and safety glasses
Instructions:
  1. Park vehicle on level ground, set parking brake, and wear safety gear.
  2. Disconnect the battery negative (ground) cable first to prevent shorts.
  3. Remove the positive cable if needed and remove any existing hold-down hardware.
  4. Clean the battery tray area and inspect for corrosion or damage; repair if necessary.
  5. Place the battery into the tray and position the hold-down clamp/bracket over the battery lip so it aligns with the tray anchor points.

  7. Tighten the hardware evenly with a socket or wrench until the battery is held firmly—do not over-tighten or deform the battery case.
