only distilled water. Water level should be kept 1/4” (6
mm) below fill well. Do not overfill the battery.
• Always keep batteries fully charged. For maximum life,
charge your vehicle at every opportunity. Use only the
charger supplied with the vehicle. See freeze point
table below.
• Inspect / tighten battery terminal connections monthly
or whenever batteries are serviced.
• Tighten terminals to specified torque.
