Using this battery tray is straightforward. First, find a suitable spot for it, keeping in mind the limited space requirements it's designed for. Place the battery into the tray, ensuring it fits well within the 10 - 1/2 inches height limit. Then, use the polypropylene hold - down strap with the quick - disconnect buckle to secure the battery firmly. To mount the tray, use the four #10 Panhead fasteners on the molded base. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the strap for any signs of wear and tear. If the buckle doesn't lock properly, it might need to be replaced. Clean the tray occasionally to prevent dirt build - up. Remember, always follow safety procedures when handling batteries.
