Activating the Battery

No Parts Required
Procedure
None
Note: This procedure is only needed for Model
No. 07277TC.
If the battery is not filled with electrolyte or
activated, it must be removed from the vehicle,
filled with electrolyte, and charged. Bulk electrolyte
with 1.260 specific gravity must be purchased from
a local battery supply outlet.
1. Remove the battery hold-down and lift the
battery out of the battery base.
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid
which is a deadly poison and causes
severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte or allow it to
contact your skin, eyes or clothing.
Wear safety glasses to shield your
eyes and rubber gloves to protect your
hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is
always available for flushing the skin.
2. Remove the filler caps from the battery and
slowly fill each cell until electrolyte is just above
the plates.
3. Replace the filler caps and connect a 3 to
4 amp. battery charger to the battery posts.
Charge the battery at a rate of 3 to 4 amperes
for 4 to 8 hours (12 volts). Do not overcharge
the battery.
