∆ WARNING
• If the battery case feels hot (approximately 125 °F (52 °C) or more), emits gases, or fluid boils
from vents, stop charging immediately. Failure to stop charging battery when any of these
conditions are present could result in an explosion, personal injury and/or damage to the
battery.
• Do not disconnect the DC leads and battery when the charger is on. The resulting arcing
between the DC leads and battery post could cause an explosion.
• If the charger must be stopped, disconnect the AC supply cord from the wall outlet before
disconnecting the DC leads from the battery. Allow the battery to cool to room temperature
and resume charging battery at a lower amp rate.
Battery Installation
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 12-1 and DANGER on page 12-31.
1. Place the battery into the vehicle. Make sure the battery posts are facing the engine.
2. Secure the battery to the vehicle with the clamp. Install bolt, washer and locknut and tighten to 12 ft-lb
(16.3 N·m).
3. Return the seat support to its original position by rotating it 90° counterclockwise. Install the armrests
using four bolts, eight washers and four locknuts. Tighten bolts (8) to 13 ft-lb (17.6 N·m) (Figure 4-2,
Page 4-7).
4. Lower the bed and place both seats on the vehicle. See following WARNING.
∆ WARNING
• Do not disengage prop rod until all persons are clear of cargo bed area.
• Do not drop tilt bed; lower gently and keep entire body clear. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in severe injury.
• Keep hands clear of crush area between bed and vehicle body.
5. Connect battery cables, positive cable first and tighten terminals to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m) (Figure 12-1,
Page 12-2). Coat terminals with Battery Protector Spray (CCI 1014305).
6. Check the park brake and differential lock lever for proper adjustment and operation.
Battery Storage
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 12-1 and DANGER on page 12-31.
1. Keep the battery clean and free of corrosion. See Preventive Maintenance on page 12-32.
2. The battery cables should be disconnected from the vehicle so it can be connected to the charger. The
battery can be left in the vehicle.
3. Fully charge the battery prior to storage.
4. Store in a cool area. The colder the area in which the battery is stored, the less the battery will self-dis-
charge. A battery stored at 0 °F (-17.8 °C) will discharge very little over a four-month period. A battery
stored at 80 °F (27 °C) will have to be recharged every few weeks.
5. Check the state of charge periodically. A battery that is discharged and left in a cold environment can
freeze and crack. If the specific gravity drops below 1.220, the battery should be recharged. See fol-
lowing WARNING.
