Battery Installation
Preparing the battery:
· Place battery on level surface. Remove sealing tape from top. (see figure 20)
· Take the electrolyte container out of the plastic bag.
· Place electrolyte container upside down with the sealed silver mouths of the
electrolyte bottles in line with the six filler holes of the battery. (see figure 21)
· Push the container down strongly enough to break the silver seals.
· As electrolyte starts flowing into battery, air bubbles will come up from the
mouths of the plastic electrolyte bottles.
· Leave bottles upside down in battery holes until electrolyte is completely
drained.
· Never leave children unattended around battery.
· If air bubbles cease to float to the top of the electrolyte bottles, tap lightly on
top.
· DO NOT remove container from battery while it is draining.
· Never cut or pierce electrolyte container.
· After all the electrolyte has drained from the bottles into the battery, pull plastic
electrolyte bottles gently out of the battery.
· Discard empty electrolyte bottles in a waste area that is inaccessible to
children and animals.
· After filling let battery stand for at least 30 minutes before charging. This
allows the electrolyte to penetrate plates for optimum performance and
ensures longer battery life.
· After 30 minutes the battery is ready for its initial charge. Place cap strip
loosely over the filling holes as shown in the picture. (see figure 22)
How to Initially Charge the battery:
1. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the red positive (+) pole of the battery.
(see figure 23)
2. Connect the black negative (-) cable to the black negative (-) pole of the battery.
(see figure 24)
Note: The red positive (+) cable has a larger diameter than the black negative
(-) cable.
