battery. If the voltage does not read at
least 12.40 vdc, the battery probably
should be replaced. You may try to
recharge the battery, but it probably
won’t hold a charge. For replacement
procedure see Paragraph 4.6.5.
5. If the battery’s voltage is satisfactory, use
the battery tester. Attach the red battery
tester cable to the positive (+) battery
pole; attach the black cable to the
negative (–) battery pole.
6. Press the LOAD switch. (If using a
brand of tester other than the Balkamp,
follow the tester’s operating instructions.)
7. In approximately 10 seconds, the tester
needle should be in the good (green)
area. If not, the battery should be
replaced.
8. Perform the same tests on all batteries in
the cabinet. (Allow the tester to cool
between tests.)
9. For proper operation, each battery in the
cabinet should show voltage readings
within
0.10 vdc of their average. If
full agreement of battery voltages cannot
be obtained, contact Service Hotline
800–777–8922.
10. Return the battery trays to their normal
position. When each tray is fully back,
replace the two bolts that fasten it to the
slide. Reconnect the battery tray cables.
