Battery Charging
Important Notes
• Before charging the battery, exam-
ine the battery case for cracks and
other damage which may cause sul-
furic acid (electrolyte) to leak during
the charging process. If damage is
detected, do not charge the
battery or use it in your vehicle.
Battery acid is very corrosive and
can cause severe damage to sur-
faces it contacts.

•
If your battery is already installed
in your vehicle, unplug the
vehicle's motor harness and
battery connectors.
2
•
To charge the battery, plug
the charger connector and battery
connector together. Push firmly to
make sure the two connectors are
completely joined.
Plug the charger into a standard 120
volt wall outlet. (If power flow to the
wall outlet is controlled by a switch,
make sure the switch is ON.)
•
Do not charge the battery on a
surface which could be damaged
by the acid contained inside the
battery. Take precautions to protect
the surface on which you charge
your battery.
•
•
•
The battery must be upright while
charging. You do not need to
remove the battery from your vehicle
to charge it.
If you have a 6-volt battery which
requires a 25 amp fuse for opera-
tion, make sure that the 25 amp fuse
is in good condition and properly
inserted in the battery before charg-
ing. The battery will not charge if the
fuse is blown or if the fuse is not
inserted in the battery correctly.
3
•
Charge a new battery at least 18
hours before first use. Recharge
the battery at least 14 hours after
each use. The charger may become
warm to the touch while charging.A
new battery may make a "sizzling" or
"bubbling" noise and swell slightly.
These are normal conditions and do
not indicate a problem.
IMPORTANT! Never charge the
battery longer than 30 hours.
Overcharging or undercharging
the battery can shorten battery life
and decrease vehicle running time.
