Charging the Battery
DANGER
Batteries produce explosive gases. Charge the
battery in a well ventilated area where the gases
produced by charging can dissipate. Do not charge
where the battery could be exposed to sparks, open
ames, or other sources of ignition.
Never charge a frozen battery, as it may explode.
Allow the battery to warm up and inspect for cracks
or damage before charging.
To preserve optimum battery performance and life,
do not allow the battery to stand in a discharged state
for long periods of time. If the battery is not being
used, check the battery voltage every 30 days and
recharge the battery if the voltage drops to 12.4 volts
or lower.
Keep the battery fully charged in cold weather to pre-
vent damage due to freezing.
1. If possible, remove the battery from the power
unit before charging.
2. Refer to the battery charger’s manual for specic
charging instructions.
3. If electrolyte is expelled or excessive gassing oc-
curs, or if the temperature of the battery exceeds
52° C (125° F), charging must be temporarily
stopped to permit cooling. After cooling, reduce
the charging rate before starting the charger
again.
