PRECAUTIONS 

2

 

 

NEVER

 smoke or produce a spark in the battery area. 

 
 

When  performing  battery  maintenance  wear  safety  glasses,  rubber  gloves  and 
protective clothing. 

 
 

When using a hydrometer avoid letting the rubber tube shake as this can cause 
drops  of  electrolyte  to  splash  onto  your  clothing  or  into  your  eyes.  Store  your 
hydrometer in a clean dry place. 

 

DO NOT OVERFILL

  Excessive water may spill out while battery is charging. 

 

USE ONLY DISTILLED WATER!

 Using tap or well water will void your warranty. 

 

DO NOT

 let foreign objects enter the cells. 

 
 

INSTALLATION 

 

STEP 1

 

Acquire the following safety items: 

 

 

 

Safety glasses or face shield 

 

 

 

Acid resistant apron 

 

 

 

Insulated 7/16 wrench 

 

 

 

Insulated ratchet with 7/16 socket 

 

1 gal. neutralizing agent (1# baking soda to gal. water,  
    mix this solution thoroughly) 
Rubber gloves 
 

 

NOTE: 

Wrapping your tools with several layers of electrical tape will reduce the 
hazard of shorting from cell to cell. You should also remove any jewelry 
that may be at risk of shorting.
