Install the battery manifold cap from the bag of parts. Be sure manifold cap hose is behind positive cable. 6. Charge the battery for a MINIMUM of 30 minutes at 5-10 amps. If your battery charger has a Deep Cycle or Maintenance Free setting, use this setting to charge the battery. Failure to charge the battery before use will reduce battery performance and life.
