regular cleaning and recharging in order
to deliver peak performance and maxi-
mum service life. The following proce-
dures are recommended for cleaning and
maintaining a sealed battery. Always read
and follow instructions provided with
battery chargers and battery products.

times. Frequent winch usage, snowplow-
ing, extended low RPM operation, short
