Battery Charge

Check the battery charge once a year or more often if operating in cold weather.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to service battery unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. Have the procedure performed by your dealer.

Hydrometer readings should be 1.260 to 1.300.

Readings below 1.250 indicate charging is required.

Routine Battery Maintenance

• Keep batteries clean as possible and wipe with a damp cloth.
• Keep all connections clean and tight. Remove any corrosion and wash terminals with a solution of baking soda and water. A light coating of grease on terminals - after cables are attached - will reduce corrosion.
• To prolong battery life, store batteries fully charged and at -7 to + 26 ° C (+ 20 to + 80 ° F). Check voltage after storage and recharge as needed and according to battery and charger manufacturer recommendations.
• Do NOT stack storage batteries on top of each other.
