Battery Preparation

WARNING: Battery explosion can injure and cause property damage! Never smoke or allow a spark
or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
See Safety Summary, pages 2-4.
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off
and always remove the grounded cable from the battery first.
If needed, add distilled water to each cell of the battery until battery acid reaches the manufacturer's specified
level. DO NOT OVERFILL! This helps remove excessive explosive gasses from the battery. For maintenance free
batteries without caps, carefully follow the battery manufacturer's recharging instructions.
WARNING: Battery acid can cause serious injury and property damage!
See Safety Summary, pages 2-4.
Always wear complete eye and clothing protection and avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
Study all of the battery manufacturer's precautions, such as whether cell caps should be left in place or removed
during charging, and the recommended rates of charge for the specific battery. If you are unable to determine the
battery manufacturer's requirements for charging, always charge the battery with cell caps in place.
If the battery voltage cannot be determined from the information on the battery itself, refer to the owner's manual
for the product in which the battery was installed.
