4.
Add electrolyte to bring level back to upper level mark on
case.
NOTE: This is the last time that electrolyte should
be added. If the level becomes low after this point,
add only distilled water.
5.
Charge battery at 1/10 of its amp/hour rating. Examples: 1/
10 of 9 amp battery = .9 amp; 1/10 of 14 amp battery = 1.4
amp; 1/10 of 18 amp battery = 1.8 amp (recommended
charging rates).
6.
Check specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer to
assure each has a reading of 1.270 or higher.
Battery Inspection
Remove the driver’s seat to access the battery.
Inspect the battery fluid level. When the battery fluid nears the
lower level, remove the battery and fill with distilled water only
to the upper level line.
Battery Removal
1.
Remove the battery holder strap.
2.
Disconnect battery negative (-) (black) cable first, followed
by the positive (+) (red) cable.
3.
Remove the battery.
4.
Remove the filler caps and add distilled water as needed to
bring each cell to the proper level. Do not overfill.
Refill using only distilled water. Tap water contains
minerals which are harmful to a battery.
Do not allow cleaning solution or tap water inside the
battery. Battery life may be reduced.
5.
Reinstall the battery caps.
Battery Installation
1.
Clean battery cables and terminals with a stiff wire brush.
Corrosion can be removed using a solution of one cup
water and one tablespoon baking soda. Rinse well with
clean water and dry thoroughly.
2.
Route the cables correctly and reinstall battery, attaching
positive (+) (red) cable first and then the negative (-) (black)
cable. Coat terminals and bolt threads with Nyogel™
Grease (PN 2871329).
3.
Install clear battery vent tube from vehicle to battery vent.
WARNING:
Vent tube must be free from obstructions and
kinks and securely installed. If not, battery gases could
accumulate and cause an explosion. The vent tube should
be routed away from frame and body to prevent contact
with electrolyte. Avoid skin contact with electrolyte, as
severe burns could result. If electrolyte contacts the vehicle
frame, corrosion will occur.
4.
Reinstall the holder strap.
Conventional Battery Testing
Whenever a service complaint is related to either the starting or
charging systems, the battery should be checked first.
Following are three tests which can easily be made on a battery
to determine its condition: OCV Test, Specific Gravity Test and
Load Test.
Maintain
between upper
and lower level
marks
CAUTION
Whenever removing or reinstalling the battery,
disconnect the negative (black) cable first and
reinstall the negative cable last!
