plode. All tires should be 20 psi (1.4bar). Improper inflation will reduce tire life considerably.

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.
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.
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.
