BASIC MAINTENANCE (continued)
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.
JUMP STARTING
Use of booster battery and jumper cables: Particular care should be
used when connecting a booster battery. Use proper polarity in order
to prevent sparks.
To jump start (negative grounded battery):
1. Shield eyes.
2. Connect ends of one cable to positive (+) terminals of each battery, first (A) then (B).
3. Connect one end of other cable to negative (-) terminal of “good” battery (C).
4. Connect other end of cable (D) to engine block on unit being started (NOT to negative (-)
terminal of battery)
To prevent damage to other electrical components on unit being started, make certain that
engine is at idle speed before disconnecting jumper cables.
