INSTALLING THE BATTERY
BATTERY
1. Remove Battery as follows;
(a). remove terminal cable from battery;

done by adding 33% strength battery acid to each cell
until plates are covered. Electrolyte must be purchased
from a local battery supply outlet.

OVERFLOW INTO OTHER PARTS OF THE MACHINE AND
SEVERE CORROSION AND DETERIORATION WILL RESULT.
3. Leave filler caps off and connect battery charger to
battery terminal. Charge at the rate indicated in the
instructions supplied with the battery.
4. After charging, check that Electrolyte is still covering
plates, if not, add to correct level. Install filler caps.

6. Install the positive (red) cable to the positive (+)
terminal and the negative (black) cable to the negative
(-) terminal.
Secure for good electrical contact.
