ufacturer’s instructions. Rock the charger lead
clamps to make sure there is a good connection.
4. Turn on the charger and slowly increase the
charging rate until the recommended value (in
amps) is reached.
CAUTION
If the battery feels hotter than 125
×
F (52
×
C), or if
rapid gassing or spewing of electrolyte occurs,
lower the charging rate or stop charging the bat-
tery and allow it to cool.
5. After the battery has charged for the recom-
mended period of time, turn the charger off.
6. Disconnect the charger from the battery.
7. Install the vent plugs in the battery and install
the battery on the vehicle.
8. Attempt to start the vehicle. If the engine does
not crank, replace the battery with a new one.
NOTE:
Follow the correct procedure when jump starting a
vehicle with a dead battery.

5 Removing the batteries
1. Disconnect the battery cables (each indicated
by an arrow
in the illustration) from the bat-
tery terminals. On each battery, disconnect the
negative (–) terminal first.
WARNING
If a metal object connects an ungrounded
battery terminal to a nearby metal part of the
vehicle which is grounded, it could short out
the batteries, causing sparks and possible
property damage.
