BATTERY REMOVAL

See General Warnings on page 1-2. See also DANGER on page 20-27.
1. Disconnect battery. See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-3.
2. Remove the battery hold-down clamp from the battery.
3. Lift the battery from the vehicle. See following WARNING.
WARNING
• Keep the battery in an upright position to prevent electrolyte leakage. Tipping the battery beyond a
45° angle in any direction can allow a small amount of electrolyte to leak out of the vent hole. Do not
exceed this 45° angle when lifting, carrying or installing battery. The battery acid could cause severe
personal injury when accidentally coming in contact with the skin or eyes, and could damage clothing.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

See General Warnings on page 1-2. See also DANGER on page 20-27.
1. Charge the battery using an automotive type 12-volt battery charger. Follow all warnings and procedures supplied
by the battery charger manufacturer.
2. Attach the positive (+) charger cable to the positive (+) battery post.
3. Attach the negative (–) charger cable to the negative (–) battery post.
4. The battery may be charged with a slow charge (3 to 10 amps) or a fast charge (20 to 30 amps). Charge until the
specific gravity reaches 1.250. See following WARNING.
WARNING
• If the battery case feels hot (approximately 125 °F (52 °C) or more), emits gases, or fluid boils from
vents, stop charging immediately. Failure to stop charging battery when any of these conditions are
present could result in an explosion, personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
• Do not disconnect the DC leads and battery when the charger is on. The resulting arcing between the
DC leads and battery post could cause an explosion.
• If the charger must be stopped, disconnect the AC supply cord from the wall outlet before
disconnecting the DC leads from the battery. Allow the battery to cool to room temperature and
resume charging battery at a lower amp rate.
