INITIAL CHARGING

FILLING ELECTROLYTE
• Remove the aluminum tape 1 which seals the battery filler
holes 2.
• Remove the caps 3 from the electrolyte container.
NOTE:
* Do not remove or pierce the sealed areas 4 of the electrolyte
container.
* After completely filling the battery with electrolyte, use the caps
3 from the electrolyte container to seal the battery filler holes.
• Insert the nozzles of the electrolyte container 5 into the battery's
electrolyte filler holes. Hold the electrolyte container firmly so
that it does not fall. Do not allow any of the electrolyte to spill.
• Make sure that the air bubbles 6 rise to the top of each elec-
trolyte container and leave the electrolyte container in this po-
sition for more than 20 minutes.
NOTE:
If air bubbles do not rise from any one of the filler ports, tap the
bottom of the electrolyte container two or three times.
Never remove the electrolyte container from the battery while there
is still electrolyte in the container.
