2. On the 400, disconnect the vent
hose.
3. Remove the battery from the bat-
tery compartment; then thoroughly
wash the battery and battery com-

Do not attempt to add electrolyte
to these batteries.
5. On the 400, add clean distilled
water to bring fluid level to the
UPPER level line.
6. Using a multimeter, test the battery
voltage. The meter must read at
least 12.5 DC Volts for a fully
charged battery.
NOTE: At this point, if the meter
reads as specified, the battery may
be returned to service (see step 10).
7. If the meter reads less than speci-
fied voltage, charge the battery
using the following guidelines.
A. When using an automatic bat-
tery charger, always follow the
charger manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
B. When using a constant-current
battery charger, use the follow-
ing Battery Charging Chart.

! WARNING
Battery acid is harmful if it contacts
eyes, skin, or clothing. Care must be
taken whenever handling a battery.
CAUTION
Never use electrolyte (sulfuric
acid) to “top off” the battery. Use
only distilled water or severe bat-
tery damage may occur.
CAUTION
Never exceed the standard charg-
ing rate.
! WARNING
An overheated battery could
explode causing severe injury or
death. Always monitor charging
times and charge rates carefully.
Stop charging if the battery
becomes very warm to the touch.
Allow it to cool before resuming
charging.
