NOTE: For optimal charge and per-
formance, leave the charger con-
nected to the battery for a minimum 1
hour after the Maintenance Charge
Indicator (D) illuminates. The main-
tainer/charger will charge the bat-
tery to 95% capacity at which time
the Maintenance Charge Indicator
(D) will illuminate and the main-
tainer/charger will change to pulse/
float maintenance. If the battery
falls below 12.9 DC volts, the char-
ger will automatically start again at
the first step of the charge
sequence. If the battery becomes hot
to the touch, stop charging. Resume
after it has cooled.
NOTE: Not using a battery char-
ger with the proper float mainte-
nance will damage the battery if
connected over extended periods.
6. Once the battery has reached full
charge, unplug the charger from the
110-volt electrical outlet.
NOTE: If, after charging, the bat-
tery does not perform to operator
expectations, bring the battery to
an authorized dealer for further
troubleshooting.
Jump-Starting
NOTE: Jump-starting a vehicle
with a dead battery is not recom-
mended. Instead, remove the battery,
service it, and correctly charge it
;
however, in an emergency, it may be
necessary to jump-start a vehicle. If
so, use the following procedure to
carefully and safely complete this
procedure.
1. On the vehicle being jump-started,
remove the battery cover and any ter-
minal boots.
2. Inspect the battery for any signs of
electrolyte leaks, loose terminals, or
bulging sides. Leaking or bulging bat-
tery cases may indicate a frozen or
shorted battery.
