the battery for electrolyte level and charge. The elec-
trolyte level should be at the bottom of the vent wells [1/
4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above plates]. If the specific
gravity is less than 1.225, the battery needs charging. If
the battery has been shipped dry, or is wet but needs
service, refer to the following instructions.

CAUTION
Important Battery Service, Installation, and
Changing Tips for MTEFI:
•
Do not allow the battery cables to touch
opposing terminals. When
battery cables attach the positive (+) cable
to positive (+) battery terminal first, followed
by negative (-) cable to negative (-) battery
terminal.
•
Never start the engine when the cables
are loose or poorly connected to the
battery terminals.
•
Never disconnect battery while engine is
running.
•
Never use a quick battery charger to
start the engine.
•
Never "jump start" the engine using
another source. Electricity fluctuations can
damage the ECU (Electronic Control Unit)
on EFI Models.
•
Do not charge battery with key switch
"on."
•
Always disconnect negative (-) battery
cable lead before charging battery, unplug
harness from ECU on EFI Models, before
performing any welding on equipment.
