To hook up a battery tender to your 1999 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide, follow these steps:
Locate the battery: The battery on the Dyna Wide Glide is typically located under the seat. Remove the seat according to your motorcycle's specific instructions.
Identify the battery terminals: The battery has two terminals, a positive (+) terminal usually marked with a "+" sign or a red cover, and a negative (-) terminal usually marked with a "-" sign or a black cover.
Prepare the battery tender: Ensure that the battery tender is in good working condition and compatible with your motorcycle's battery. Familiarize yourself with the instructions provided by the battery tender manufacturer.
Connect the positive terminal: Take the positive lead from the battery tender, usually colored red, and connect it to the positive terminal on the battery. It may be necessary to loosen the terminal nut using a wrench, slide the terminal connector onto the terminal post, and tighten the nut securely.
Connect the negative terminal: Take the negative lead from the battery tender, usually colored black, and connect it to the negative terminal on the battery. Similarly, loosen the terminal nut, attach the connector to the terminal post, and tighten the nut securely.
Ensure proper connections: Double-check that the positive and negative leads are securely connected to the respective battery terminals. Make sure there are no loose or exposed wires that could cause a short circuit.
Plug in the battery tender: With the connections in place, plug the battery tender into a suitable power outlet. The battery tender should start charging the battery automatically. Refer to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer to understand the charging process and any additional settings or features.
Monitor the charging process: Keep an eye on the battery tender's indicators or LED lights to ensure that it is charging properly. Observe the manufacturer's recommended charging time to avoid overcharging the battery.
Remember to always follow the instructions provided by the battery tender manufacturer and refer to your motorcycle's manual for any specific guidelines or precautions related to your Dyna Wide Glide model.
