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.
