3.1
CHARGING THE BATTERY (CONT'D)
D. Charge 12 volt battery at 30-40 amps until the acid temperature is above 80
o
F (26
o
C), and the hydrometer reading is 1.250 or higher. Acid temperature must never
exceed 125
o
F while charging.
NOTE:
Both temperature and hydrometer readings must be met.
E. After charging the battery, check acid levels in all cells and fill each cell with acid to
the proper level.
F. Re-install vented caps.
G. Re-install the battery onto the machine. Position battery in the battery box so that
the terminal side of the battery is facing the engine.
H. Connect the RED positive (+) cable to the positive terminal of the battery and fasten
it securely with the hardware provided.
I. Connect the BLACK negative (-) cable to the negative terminal of the battery and
fasten it securely with the hardware provided.
CAUTION
When installing the battery, connect the negative (-) cable last to prevent sparking
and shorting. When disconnecting is required, remove the negative (-) cable first.
Reverse polarity can cause damage to the starting and charging system.

MACHINE INSTALLATION
1. Remove the machine from the skid and lift the machine onto the vehicle with the
discharge end of the machine toward the rear of the vehicle.
2. Pass the remote control unit through an open window and locate it within reach of the
person operating the machine. If permanent vehicle installation is desired, the remote
control cable can be fed through a clearance hole in the vehicle chassis and then
reconnected. When drilling clearance holes, ensure that all sharp edges are removed
and covered to prevent premature wearing of the remote cable. When routing the cable
to the vehicle cab, do not allow the cable to be exposed to any sharp edges. Avoid
sharp bends when routing the cable.
