Section 05 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Subsection 03 (CHARGING SYSTEM)
NOTE: Some chargers have a polarity protec-
tion feature which prevents charging unless the
charger leads are connected to the correct battery
terminals. A completely discharged battery may
not have enough voltage to activate this circuitry,
even though the leads are connected properly.
This will make it appear that the battery will not
accept a charge. Follow the charger manufac-
turer's instruction on how to bypass or override
this circuitry so that the charger will turn on and
charge a low-voltage battery.
3. Since battery chargers vary in the amount of
voltage and current they provide, the time re-
quired for the battery to accept a measurable
charger current may be up to 10 hours or more.
4. If the charging current is not up to a measurable
amount after 10 hours, the battery should be
replaced.
5. If the charging current is measurable before the
end of the 10 hour period, the battery is good
and charging should be completed at a lower
rate.
6. It is recommended that any battery recharged
using this procedure be tested under load prior
to returning it to service.
Installing the Battery
Installation is the reverse of removal procedure.
NOTICE
Always connect battery cables in the
specified order, RED positive cable first, BLACK
negative cable last.
1. Connect RED (+) cable.
2. Connect BLACK (-) cable last.
3. Apply dielectric grease on battery posts.
4. Verify cable routing and attachments.
