REPLACING THE BATTERY
Risk of electrical shock or battery explosion,
which can cause serious injury or death.
Wear eye protection. Work in a well-
ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow a
spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery.
Avoid dropping metal tools on the battery.
If battery acid contacts eyes, flush with
water for 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.
REFER TO THE PHOTOS AT RIGHT
1. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the cover of the battery box by
pushing in the tabs on the front and back,
then lifting up.
3. Fan the area around the top of the battery
with a piece of cardboard (or another non-
metallic material) to remove any hydrogen or
oxygen gas that may have been emitted from
the battery.
4. Remove the fluid sensor from the top of the
battery. Unscrew the wing nuts and remove
the battery cables.
5. Remove the old battery from the battery box
and place the new battery in the box. Fill the
battery following the instructions on page 8.
6. Clean any corrosion off of the ring connectors
on the ends of the battery wires. Use a stiff
brush or sandpaper.
DO NOT
apply corrosion
resisting sprays or pads to the terminal rings
or posts after you have cleaned them, since
this could prevent the battery from charging
properly.
7. Replace the battery cables, WHITE to the
NEGATIVE (-) post and BLACK to the POSITIVE
(+) post. Tighten the wing nuts.
8. (a) If your battery has six caps on the top,
rinse and dry the cap with the extra hole from
the old battery to remove any residue.
Replace the battery cap in the cell that is 2nd
from the POSITIVE post with the cap from the
old battery. Insert the fluid sensor in the cap.
(b) If your battery has two caps, each
covering three cells, simply insert the fluid
sensor in the top of the battery next to the
arrow.
9. Plug the charger back into the wall outlet.
(You should provide additional protection for
the control unit by using a surge protector.)
