Batteries also generate explosive hydrogen gas,
therefore you should always follow these preventive
measures
:
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area. Keep
batteries away from fire, sparks, or open flames (e.g.,
welding equipment, lighted cigarettes, etc.).
Batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
•
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or handling
d. Connect the battery to a battery charger.
e. Set the battery charger rate at 1/10 of the battery
capacity and charge the battery for 5-10 hours.
F. Turn the battery charger off, then disconnect it from
the battery.
g. Check the specific gravity of each cell with a hydro-
meter. If the hydrometer readings are below the
specification, charging is necessary.
h. Install the filler caps, and thoroughly wipe off the
fluid around the filler caps. Wipe off the battery
completely before installation

2. Installation:
a. The breather hose should be connected and routed
Properly.
b. Make sure that the main switch is turned off, and
install the battery in the battery box.
c. Connect the positive lead first, and then connect
the negative lead.
When inspecting the battery, be sure the breather
hose is routed correctly. If the battery breather hose
touches the frame in such a way as to cause battery
electrolyte or gas to exit onto the frame, structural
and cosmetic damage to the machine can occur.
