SINGLE POINT BATTERY WATERING SYSTEM (If equipped)
NOTICE: The following information does NOT apply to sealed batteries
This is a single point watering system for maintaining a sufficient electrolyte level in the
batteries.
NOTICE: Do not operate this system on brand new batteries. See FIRST STEP for the
initial check on the electrolyte level of new batteries. Complete 4 to 5 charge cycles
before using the system.
System is to be used only after fully charging the batteries and batteries are warm.
The fill tube assembly which is used for adding water to the battery pack consists of a fill tube,
one end having a filter screen, the other having a female coupler and a rubber squeeze bulb.
Check the battery pack water level weekly by:
Inserting the fill tube filter end in an approved water supply.
Attaching the female coupler to the battery pack male coupler. Squeeze the rubber ball until
firm which indicates that filling is complete. Immediately disconnect the couplers by
depressing the push button on the female coupler. If the water supply is left connected after
the filling process is finished it could lead to an overfill.
