Battery
Note: The following page is for vehicles with battery’s containing separate electrolyte pack. Most battery’s will
come with the electrolyte already sealed into the battery.
Preparing the battery:
· Place battery on level surface. Remove Vent cap from
battery vent located on top side portion of battery. (see
figure 20)
· Remove cell caps using a pair of pliers. (see figure 21)
· Wear eye protection and rubber gloves for this step.
Cut off tip of electrolyte bottle and attach tube. Place
other end of tube in battery and allow the electrolyte
to drain in battery cell. Fill battery to upper level mark
located on front of battery. Repeat step for each of the
6 cells (see figure 22)
· Discard empty electrolyte bottles in a waste area that is
inaccessible to children and animals.
· After each cell is filled with electrolyte to upper level,
remove tube from battery and set electrolyte aside.
· Discard empty electrolyte bottles in a waste area that is
inaccessible to children and animals.
· After filling let battery stand for at least 30 minutes
before charging. This allows the electrolyte to penetrate
plates for optimum performance and ensures longer
battery life.
· After 30 minutes the battery is ready for its initial
charge. Place caps loosely over cell holes.
