This unit is of negative ground. DO NOT connect in reverse.
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level are
not properly maintained. Add only distilled water when

are loose. Poor contact may result in poor starting or
malfunctions.
Always keep the terminals firmly tightened.
Coating the terminals with an approved battery terminal
treatment compound. Replace battery with only
recommended type battery.
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of
the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific gravity
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is
dead and needs to be recharged or replaced.
Before charging the battery with an external electric source,
be sure to disconnect the battery cables.
