Checking Battery Electrolyte Level

MIF

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if splashed into eyes.

- Wear eye protection and avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.

- Flush eyes with water for 15-30 minutes if acid is splashed into eyes.

- If acid is swallowed, get medical attention immediately.

1. Remove manifold caps (A).

M93095


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! DO NOT fill cells to the bottom of the filler neck (C). Electrolyte can overflow when battery is charged and cause damage.

2. Electrolyte (D) should be 6 mm (1/4 in.) above plates (E).

MIF

3. Add distilled water if necessary.

4. Install manifold caps.

Charging the Battery

Follow instructions on the battery charger or in the charger operator's manual, or use the instructions below as a guide.

MIF

MIF

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! BE VERY CAREFUL: Battery fluid (electrolyte), is a solution of water and sulfuric acid. It is very harmful to eyes, skin, or clothing.

- Wear goggles or an eye shield when you work with a battery.

- If the acid contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the area immediately with water. Get medical help, if necessary.

A battery gives off gas which can explode. An exploding battery will spray sulfuric acid in all directions.

- Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from the battery.

- Charge the battery in an area with good ventilation.

- DO NOT charge a frozen battery.

Before you charge a battery:

· Wait until the battery has warmed to room temperature. Do not charge a frozen battery.

· Check the electrolyte level of each cell. (See Checking Battery Electrolyte Level in this section.)

· Install the battery cap(s) on the battery.

Turn OFF and unplug the charger before you connect cables to the battery or disconnect cables from the battery.

If the battery becomes warm to touch during charging:

· Reduce the charging rate OR

· Stop charging the battery until it cools.

Keep battery fully charged.

1. Remove and clean battery. (See Cleaning Or Replacing Battery in this section.

2. Check electrolyte level. (See Checking Battery Electrolyte Level in this section.)

3. Leave cell caps on battery while you charge it.

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To avoid injury, before you connect or disconnect charger cables to battery, unplug charger cord.

4. Connect positive (+) charger cable to positive (+) battery terminal.

MIF

5. Connect negative (-) charger cable to negative (-) battery terminal.

6. Plug in charger cord.

7. Charge battery. See CHARGING RATES on the next page.

8. Unplug charger cord. Remove charger cables.

9. Install battery.

Charging Rates

See your battery charger or charger operator's manual for information on charging. Or read the information below to FULLY CHARGE your battery.

For a charger with a CURRENT ADJUSTMENT CONTROL:

· Adjust control to 10 amps.

· Charge the battery for 6-8 hours.

For a charger with a switch for MAINTENANCE FREE, DEEP CYCLE, or NORMAL (CONVENTIONAL) setting:

· Use the MAINTENANCE FREE or DEEP CYCLE setting.

For a charger with SLOW CHARGE, FAST CHARGE, or BOOST CHARGE setting:

· DO NOT use the BOOST CHARGE setting.

· Use the SLOW CHARGE setting:

· For a charger rated at less than 10 amps.

· For 3 to 16 hours.

· Use the FAST CHARGE setting:

· For a charger rated at 10 amps.

· For 5 to 8 hours.

NOTE: Your charger may have an AUTOMATIC STOP to prevent charging the battery when the battery is fully charged OR is not in condition to take a charge.

Using Booster Battery

MIF

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Battery gas is explosive:
