MAINTENANCE
BATTERY
Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Do not allow flames, sparks or any
ignited object to come near the battery. When charging or working near battery, always shield your eyes and
always provide proper ventilation.
Battery cable should be disconnected before using "Fast Charge".
Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging
rate. If electrolyte starts boiling over, decrease charging.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace it last. Avoid hazards by:
1. Filling batteries in well-ventilated areas.
2. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoid breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
WARNING! Battery Electrolyte is an acidic solution and
should be handled with care. If electrolyte is splashed on
any part of your body, flush all contact areas immediately
with liberal amounts of water. Get medical attention
immediately.
WARNING! Connecting battery cables to the wrong post
could result in personal injury and/or damage to the
electrical system. Make sure battery and cables do not
interfere or rub on any moving part. Connect the red
positive (+) cable (A) to the battery first. When disconnect-
ing remove the black negative (-) cable (B) first.
