Testing the battery:
•
Measure the battery voltage using a multi-meter set
to Voltage
•
A fully charged battery should read 13.0-13.5V. An
under charged or faulty battery will be below 12.0V.
•
If the battery is showing under charge condition,
charge the battery using a trickle charger at 7 amps
for 10 hours. When charging the battery, it should
be removed from the unit. Connect the charger
lead to the battery before turning on the charging
unit. Turn the charging unit off before
disconnecting the charging leads from the battery.

New battery preparation
:
•
The new battery is shipped dry with the electrolyte
in a separate container. Remove the battery cell
caps and install the electrolyte in the battery cells.
CAUTION: Electrolyte contains sulfuric acid that
can cause severe burns if contact is made with the
skin or eyes.
•
Allow the battery to completely absorb the
electrolyte (approximately one (1) hour). The battery
should have a full charge. The battery is a gel acid
battery and will not show any liquid electrolyte
when fully absorbed.
DO NOT
place the new battery on a charger as this can
damage the cell plates and make the battery unusable.
