Activating the Battery

Note: This procedure is only needed for Model No.
07277TC.
If the battery is not filled with electrolyte or activated, it
must be removed from the vehicle, filled with electrolyte,
and charged. Bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity
must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet.
1. Remove the rubber strap securing the battery to the
battery base. Lift the battery out of the battery base.
Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
2. Remove the filler caps from the battery and slowly fill
each cell until electrolyte is just above the plates.
3. Replace the filler caps and connect a 3 to 4 amp. battery
charger to the battery posts. Charge the battery at a rate
of 3 to 4 amperes for 4 to 8 hours (12 volts). Do not
overcharge the battery.
Warning
Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and
flames away from battery.
4. When the battery is charged, disconnect the charger
from the electrical outlet and battery posts.
5. Remove the filler caps. Slowly add electrolyte to each
cell until electrolyte is up to the fill line. Install the filler
caps.
Important Do not overfill the battery. Electrolyte will
overflow onto other parts of the vehicle and severe
corrosion and deterioration will result.
6. Install the battery; refer to Installing the Battery,
page 38.
