5. Wait five to ten minutes after filling the battery
cells. Add distilled water, if necessary, until
the electrolyte level is up to the Upper line
(Figure 32) on the battery case.
6. Reinstall the battery vent caps.
Charging the Battery
Important: Always keep the battery
fully charged (1.260 specific gravity). This
is especially important to prevent battery
damage when the temperature is below 32°F
(0°C).
1. Remove the battery from the chassis; refer to
Removing the Battery.
2. Check the electrolyte level; refer to Checking
the Electrolyte Level.
3. Make sure that the vent caps are installed in
the battery. Charge the battery for 1 hour at 25
to 30 amps or 6 hours at 4-6 amps. Do not
overcharge the battery.
