Your unit has a battery charging system which is sufficient
for normal use. However, periodic charging of the battery
with an automotive charger will extend its life.
• See instructions packed with vent caps in parts bag.
• Fill battery with acid. Fill each
cell until it reaches the bot­
tom of the vent wells. Do not over fill.
• Allow battery to stand and settle for at least thirty minutes.
After standing, check the level of acid. If below the vent
wells, add more acid until the correct level is reached.
While battery is standing (after adding acid) and later, while
battery is being charged, continue with assembly of unit.
“ To maximize the life of your battery, it is necessary that
the battery be charged before use. Use a 12 volt battery
charger. Charge battery at a rate of 6 amperes for 1 hour.
Observe all safety precautions required for battery charg­
ing. Failure to charge battery can result in a shortened
battery life.
• Check the acid level after the battery is charged. If the acid
has fallen beiow the correct level, add distilled or iron free
water.
• Install the vent caps to cover the vent wells. Wash the top
of the battery with water to remove any acid, then wipe
drv.
