Notice that the positive side has a RED boot/cover? You have two choices for installation of the POSITIVE (RED) ring connector: either on the outside of the red boot, or from within the red boot. If it's warm when you do this you may be able to push the POSITIVE ring connector through the boot sleeve with the other wires. However, if it's cold the rubber boot will be very stiff, and this won't work. So, cut off the ring connector and then feed the tender's POSITIVE wire through the red boot. You'll then need to crimp a new ring connector to the wire. If you want the easy way (not the preferred way), then you can place the bolt through the RED ring outside the red boot and then through the cycle's POSITIVE connector.

Then, insert the bolt into the positive terminal post. You'll find out that the bolt is too short to reach the square nut, this is why we removed the side panels, to provide access to the nut from under the frame:

Note that this is the negative side. Do the positive side first. We just don't have pictures of the positive side.

Use a flat head screwdriver to 'lift' the nut up high enough to screw the bolt back in all the way. The terminals are made of lead, which is very soft. Don't get carried away with the screwdriver. Once you are done, it will look like this:

Now repeat the process for the right side to raise the nut using a flat head screwdriver, and then screw the bolt back in all the way. Your 250 will now look like this:
