DEALER ASSEMBLY & PRE-SERVICE
5. It would be best to leave the battery remain in a
cool, dry area during the off season. This will slow
down the loss of charge during non-use periods.
6, Check your battery monthly during the off season
and if the battery has a low specific gravity apply
a charge to it.*
•NOTE: THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY SHOULD BE CHECK­
ED IN EACH CELL AND SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR
ALL CELLS. A VARIATION IN A CELL READING COULD
BE AN INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. SUBTRACT .004
FROM 1.265 FOR EACH 10° F (5.5° C) BELOW 80° F
(26.7° C). ADD .004 TO 1.265 FOR EACH 10° F (5.5°
C) ABOVE 80° F (26.7 C).
