Experience gained has helped achieve an unmatched reputation along with specific

measures to obtain the maximum performance and life from our product. This

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

• Distilled water

• Baking soda, soda ash

• Voltmeter, ampmeter

• Hydrometer, refractometer

• Battery charger

SAFE HANDLING PROCEDURE

To prevent injury, always wear acid-resistant clothing, PVC gloves, goggles and

rubber boots. Flooded batteries must be maintained in an upright position at all

times. Always have plenty of water and baking soda on hand in the event of acid

spillage during transport.

INSPECTION

When receiving shipment of your batteries, it is important to thoroughly

inspect each pallet, battery and packaging. Before signing acceptance of the

shipment, remove the shrink-wrap from the pallet and inspect each battery for

damage (i.e. cracks, dents, punctures, deformations, acid leaks or other visible

abnormalities).

Do not accept shipment if the batteries appear to have been damaged in anyway.

Confirm that connection terminals are secure and clean. If the battery is dirty,

or if any minor amount of acid has spilled onto the case due to loose bayonets,

refer to the cleaning instructions in this manual to properly neutralize and clean

as necessary. Wet pallets or signs of acid leak on or around the batteries could

indicate shipping damage or improperly sealed battery casing. Perform a voltage

check to confirm the battery polarity and marking of the terminals are accurate.

In the event of a suspected leak or damage, do not accept the shipment.

Contact your battery retailer or Rolls Battery to determine whether the batter(ies)

require replacement.

Battery shipments which are known to be damaged, but accepted, will

not be replaced under the terms of Rolls Battery manufacturer warranty.
