How to Initially Charge the battery:
1. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the red positive (+) pole of the

battery.

(see figure 24)

2. Connect the black negative (-) cable to the black negative (-) pole of the

battery. (see figure 25)

Note: The red positive (+) cable has a larger diameter than the black

negative y cable.

3. Charging rate: Charge battery @ 0.7 Amps for

5 ~ 10 hours.
• After charging is complete, install securely all six battery caps (see

figure 26)

Preparing the battery:
· Place battery on level surface. Remove cap strip from top of battery.

(see figure 20)

Wear eye protection and rubber gloves for this step. Once battery

strip is removed, locate electrolyte in bottle and place over the six

openings. Press firmly down on bottle allowing the battery to pierce

the six in-line openings in bottle. Let electrolyte drain into battery until

bottle is completely empty. (see figure 21)

· Discard empty electrolyte container 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 caps

loosely over battery cell holes (see figure 22)
