BATTERY RECHARGING

PRECAUTIONS

During recharging, the battery is producing hydrogen
gas.

Therefore, before recharging:

1. If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be
sure to disconnect the ground cable.

2. Make sure the power switch on the recharger is off when
connecting the charger cables to the battery and when
disconnecting them.

CAUTION

Always charge the battery in an unconfined area. Do
not charge the battery in a garage or closed room
where there is not sufficient ventilation.

Only do a slow charge (5 A or less). Charging at a
quicker rate is dangerous. The battery may explode
causing personal injuries.

NOTICE

Never recharge the battery while the engine is running.
Also, be sure all accessories are turned off.
