a) BATTERY
The battery is a part of two circuits, starting and charging.
Therefore before going into any extensive alternator or
starter checks, the battery itself should be checked first.
Ensure that it is fully charged by recharging for 24 hours
with charger supplied. In low temperatures battery power
reduces whilst power required to crank engine increases.
NOTE - Loss of charge is normal and temporary during
off season storage.

Sealed Lead Acid Type Batteries

When not in use, store in a cool dry place. After storage,
charge with charger unit supplied for 24 hours. Automotive
type chargers must not be used as these can overcharge
the battery causing extensive damage. The operation of
the charger supplied can be checked by feel, it should
be warm to the touch whilst in use. The charger has an
output of approximately 100-150 mA, i.e. 1/10 of an Amp
at 12V DC.
