• Never use a fast charger as a booster to start the engine.
This can seriously damage sensitive electronic compo-
nents such as relays, radio, etc., as well as the battery
charger. Fast charging a battery is dangerous and
should only be attempted by a competent mechanic with
the proper equipment.
Slow Battery Charging
NOTE: Follow the instructions that come with your
battery charger.
• It is not necessary to remove the battery from the com-
partment.
WARNING! Charger cables must be connected
positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to neg-
ative (– to –). If connected improperly, batteries
could explode causing serious personal injury.
• Always make sure the battery charger is OFF before
connecting or disconnecting the cable clamps. To
reduce the danger of explosions and resulting seri-
ous personal injury, do not connect or disconnect
charger cables while the charger is operating.
1. Make sure the electrolyte level in each cell is between
the “MIN” and “MAX” marks. If the fluid level is below the
“MIN” mark, correct the condition.
2. Disconnect the battery cables.
3. Connect charger cables.
4. Start charging the battery at a rate not over 6 amperes.
Normally, a battery should be charged at no more than
10 percent of its rated capacity.
5. After charging, turn OFF charger and disconnect charger
cables.
