5. Replace 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.
Caution
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when
working with electrolyte. Charge the battery in a
well ventilated place so gasses produced while
charging can dissipate. Since the gases are
explosive, keep open flames and electrical spark
away from the battery; do not smoke. Nausea may
result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug charger
from electrical outlet before connecting to or
disconnecting charger leads from battery posts.
6. When battery is charged, disconnect charger from
electrical outlet and battery posts.
7. Remove filler caps. Slowly add electrolyte to each cell
until level is up to fill ring. Install filler caps.
Important Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte will
overflow onto other parts of the machine and severe
corrosion and deterioration will result.
8. Install the positive cable (red) to the positive (+)
terminal and the negative cable (black) to the negative
(—) terminal of the battery and secure with capscrews
and nuts. Make sure positive (+) terminal is all the way
onto post and cable is positioned snug to battery. Cable
