Battery Maintenance

Over cooling drains your battery
When the ambient temperature is between 70° and 90° F, keep the thermostat at the "3"
position to avoid an excessive drain of the battery. When making ice, or storing frozen
foods, turn the thermostat to the coldest setting "5".
Maintain the battery
If the charge of your battery is not sufficient, the cooling performance of your refrigerator
decreases.
!
CAUTION
Check the Battery charge Level
A fully charged battery will have a specific gravity reading of between 1.260 and 1.280.
The battery voltage is best indicated when the refrigerator is "ON" and the battery charging
system is "OFF". Charge the battery when the specific gravity reading is less than 1.200.
For your reference
The wiring diagram shown below is recommended for dual battery hookup (See
.
Art02373)
Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because
they can damage the inside of the refrigerator.
Only use a "quick charger" on the battery if the thermostat is
turned to "OFF".
