BATTERY
This unit is of negative ground. DO NOT connect in reverse.
ALWAYS maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened if the fluid levels are
not properly maintained. Add only distilled water when
replenishment is necessary. DO NOT overfill.
Check to see whether the battery cables are loose. Poor
contact may result in poor starting or malfunctions.
ALWAYS keep the terminals firmly tightened. Coat the
terminals with an approved battery terminal treatment
compound. Replace the battery with only the recommended
type battery. The battery type used in this power buggy is
BCI Group U1.
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity
of the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68°F). If the specific gravity
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is
dead and needs to be recharged or replaced.
Before charging the battery with an external electric source,
be sure to disconnect the battery cables.
Battery Cable Installation
ALWAYS be sure the battery cables (Figure 9) are properly
connected to the battery terminals as shown below. The red
cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery
and the black cable is connected to the negative terminal
of the battery.

INSPECTION
When connecting the battery do the following:
1. NEVER connect the battery cables to the battery
terminals when the ignition is in the ON (start) position.
2. Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment
compound around both battery terminals. This will
ensure a good connection and will help prevent
corrosion around the battery terminals.
RUBBER TRACK CHECK
The rubber tracks installed on the track buggy are very
important for its effective operation.
1. ALWAYS check the rubber tracks (Figure 10) for cuts
and abrasions.
Figure 10. Rubber Track Inspection
2. DO NOT operate the track buggy if the rubber track is
deformed or damaged.
3. Check the tension of the rubber track every 50 hours.
Reference the Maintenance section in this manual on
how to check rubber track tension.
CAUTION
Inadequate battery connections may cause poor starting
of the power buggy and create other malfunctions.
NOTICE
If the battery cable is connected incorrectly, electrical
damage to the power buggy will occur. Pay close attention
to the polarity of the battery when connecting the battery.
