I
Remove the seat.
Remove the battery 0 and then @ lead wires from the
battery terminals.
Remove the battery from the battery holder.
Check the electrolyte level and specific gravity. Add distilled
water, as necessary, to keep the surface of the electrolyte
above the MIN. level line but not above the MAX. level line.
For checking specific gravity, use a hydrometer to deter-
mine the charged condition.
09900-28403 : Hydrometer
Standard specific gravity
:
1.28 at 20°C (68” F)
An S.G. reading of 1.22 (at 20°C) or under means that the
battery needs recharging. Remove the battery from the ma-
chine and charge it with a battery charger.
CAUTION:
Never charge a battery while still in the machine as damage
may result to the battery or regulator/rectifier.
l
Charge at a maximum of 1.6 amps.
