BATTERY CHARGING
WARNING
Corrosion hazard.
Batteries contain acid. Always keep the
battery upright and do not spill the
electrolyte. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes.
Explosion hazard.
Changing the battery produces explosive
hydrogen gas. Only charge the battery in a
well ventilated area, away from any ignition
source such as a water heater, electric
motor, or lit cigarette.
Wear Protective Equipment
Always wear gloves and safety glasses
when handling the battery and battery
cables.
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may
be the result of a defect in the charging system or other
electrical component. If there is any doubt about the
cause of the problem, contact a Sears Parts & Repair
Center. If you need to replace the battery, follow the
steps under Cleaning the Battery & Cables in the
Regular Maintenance Section.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by
the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings
included in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge
the battery until fully charged (until the specific gravity of
the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte
temperature is at least 60° F). Do not charge at a rate
higher than 10 amps.
ENGINE ADJUSTMENTS
The engine is designed to deliver the correct
performance under all operating conditions. Any
