Battery Charging (Continues)
Warning! When using lead (WET) batteries, battery charging produces highly explosive
hydrogen gas. Charge the batteries in well-ventilated areas and away from naked
ames. Do not smoke while charging the batteries. Keep the recovery tank lifted until
the battery charging cycle is over.
Warning! Pay close attention when charging WET CELL batteries, as there may be battery uid
leakages. The battery uid is corrosive. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse
thoroughly with water and consult a physician.
1. (For WET CELL batteries only) Check the level of electrolyte inside the batteries. If necessary, unscrew
the caps and top up.
2. When the correct level is restored, close the caps and clean the tops of the batteries.
