Checking Battery Electrolyte Level.

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.

1. Raise hood.

M55540

2. Remove battery manifold caps (A)

M39772

3. .Electrolyte (C) should be 1/4 in (6 mm) above plates (D).

4. Add distilled water if necessary.

6. Lower hood.

Charging The Battery

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

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! BE VERY CAREFUL: Battery fluid (electrolyte), is a solution of c 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.

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.

Charging The Battery (Continued)

Keep battery fully charged.

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! DO NOT charge a frozen battery. Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from battery.
