Recharging
EWJ00090
WARNING
● When charging the battery keep it well
away from sparks and open flames, as
it gives off explosive gases.
● When using a battery charger, connect
the battery to the charger before you
turn the charger on. This will prevent
sparking at the terminals which could
ignite battery gases.
1) Remove the caps from the cells. Add
distilled water if necessary to top up the
electrolyte to the proper level.
2) Connect the battery to a charger. Set
the charging rate at 1.9 amps, and
charge it for 10 hours.
Connecting the battery terminals
Always make sure the connections are cor-
rect when you insert the battery in the vehi-
cle. Make sure the breather pipe is properly
connected and that it is not damaged or
obstructed. Make sure the battery is
securely held in place.
