Battery Installation
note: The following page is for vehicles with battery’s containing separate electrolyte pack. Most
batteries will come with the electrolyte already sealed into the battery.
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 23)
