Yeah, that's one thing to make sure the flag is in. Couple things I learned when one of my batteries cracked open and acid went all over. When you take off the cables from each post, zip tie the ends together and get some red and black tape to put on each cable to remember what is positive and what's negative, then loosen the next one and repeat. The black plastic cover and the red lugs will fool you but if not sure, peal back the plastic covering to see if the cable is red or black. I got the hold down strap loosened and it came apart, so I sewed It back together, then when getting something at Walmart, they have these by the hundred. I removed both batteries and washed out the compartment with water and baking soda and I added a piece of plywood underneath the battery in the rear (the plywood makes the battery in the front too close to that C/B you mentioned though) and since I was there I checked the hydraulic fluid in the slide motor. It's very hard to see but lay the stick on a paper towel and then you can see the quantity better. Whew! That's was a lot of work there. Also found that the Coleman camp stools are good chairs to sit on and since I am over the hill and carrying the batteries is too much work, I just got an old radio flyer wagon to carry them from my truck to my RV. And last thing you do is remember to wash your hands cause this stuff can get in places you don't want it to, eyes clothes...etc.
