BATTERIES
There are two Delco Batteries used for the
chassis and interior of the vehicle. These are
located behind the right front access door. The
optional
Motor Generator cranking battery is
located in the storage o
r
motor generator
compartment along with the Motor Generator
and the hour
meter.
It
is
important
that
these
batteries
receive the following care:
1.
If the battery has flame arrestor type
filler/vent
caps,
check
the
fluid
level in
each cell at each engine oil change interval
and more often in hot weather.
(To
do
this it may be helpful to use a small hand
mirror.)
Add
only
colorless,
odorless
drinking water or distilled water to bring
the
level
to
the
split-ring in
the
filler
opening. DO NOT OVERFILL.
2.
The batteries may be maintenance-free
type
batteries,
identified by the absence of
vent plugs. Water never needs to be added
to the maintenance- free
batteries.
A charge
indicator
in
the
cover
of
the
battery
indicates
the state
of
charge.
Check the
charge indicator at each engine oil .change
interval.
(A
small
hand
mirror
may
be
helpful in reading the indicator.)
•
If the charge indicator is dark and has a
green dot in the center, the battery is
sufficiently charged.
•
If the charge indicator is dark and a
green dot is not
visible,
have your GMC
MotorHome
dealer
charge the battery.
•
If the charge indicator appears
light,
the
battery must be replaced. If the battery
fails
prematurely
and
exhibits
a
light
indicator
condition,
have
your
dealer
check the charging system of the vehicle.
CAUTION
To
avoid
explosion
hazard,
NEVER attempt to charge or jump
start
a
maintenance
free
battery
which
exhibits
a
light
~
ndicator
condition.
Departures
from
thb
procedure
could
result
in
serious
personal injury or property
damage.
