GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
• A standard “U1” Battery is recommended. If the
Battery is put into service after the “month and
year” of the date on the Battery, it may need to be
charged with a 12 volt Battery charger for a
minimum of 1 hour, but no more than 2 hours at a
rate of 6 to 10 amps.
• Use pliers on Thumbscrews if they are too tight to
turn by hand. Do not re-tighten with pliers.
INSTALLATION / REMOVAL

Battery Cover as shown in Figure 15.1.
• Tilt top Cover 2 slightly upward and slide Battery
Cover 3 down & out to remove. Figure 15.2
• Place U1 Battery into opening. Ensure the three
rubber edge guards 8 are in place before inserting
Battery. Figure 15.3
• Lay Battery strap 5 over Battery. Insert one 5/16-
18 x 1” Bolt 4 thru Battery strap hole near engine
and hand thread into the Tinnerman Clip 10 .
