1. Open battery compartment cover to allow access to
battery terminals and vent caps.
WHEN ADDING WATER TO BATTERIES, ADD WATER UNTIL ELEC-
TROLYTE COVERS PLATES. DO NOT CHARGE BATTERIES
UNLESS ELECTROLYTE COVERS THE PLATES.
NOTE: When add ing di stille d w ater to batteries , non-m etalli c
containers and/or funnels must be used.
To avoid electrolyte overflow, add distilled water to
batteries after charging.
When adding water to the battery, fill only to level
indicated or 9.5 mm above separators.
2. Remove all vent caps and inspect electrolyte level of
each cell. Electrolyte level should be to the ring
approximately one inch from top of battery. Fill bat-
teries with distilled water only. Replace and secure
all vent caps.
