winter storage.
a) Check the voltage of the battery with a digital voltmeter. Locate the voltage reading of the battery in the
table (See chart 3.3.2) and charge the battery for the recommended time interval to bring the charge up
to a full charge of 12.6 Volts or greater.
IMPORTANT
: Make sure the negative & positive battery cables are connected correctly and the
battery charger used for charging the battery has and output of 16 volts and 7 amps or less to avoid
damaging the battery. (See chart 3.3.2 for recommended charger settings.)
