g) Start the engine and check for leaks. Stop engine and recheck oil level.
5.1.8 Check the battery charge.
Allowing the batteries to stand for an extended period without recharging them
will result in reduced performance and service life. To preserve optimum battery
performance and life, recharge batteries in storage when the open circuit voltage
drops to 12.4 volts.
Note: To prevent damage due to freezing, battery should be fully charged before
putting away for winter storage.
Check the voltage of the battery with a digital voltmeter. Locate the voltage
reading of the battery in the table below and charge the battery for the
recommended time interval to bring the charge up to a full charge of 12.6 volts
or greater.
Service Interval: 50 hrs.
