Battery Installation (cont.)
Note: The following page is for vehicles with battery’s
containing separate electrolyte pack. Most battery’s will
come with the electrolyte already sealed into the bat-
tery.
Preparing the battery:
• Place battery on level surface. Remove sealing tape from top.
(see figure 20)
• Take the electrolyte container out of the plastic bag.
• Place electrolyte container upside down with the sealed silver
mouths of the electrolyte bottles in line with the six filler holes of
the battery. (see figure 21)
• Push the container down strongly enough to break the silver seals.
(see figure 22)
• As electrolyte starts flowing into battery, air bubbles will come up
from the mouths of the plastic electrolyte bottles.
• Leave bottles upside down in battery holes until electrolyte is
completely drained.
• Never leave children unattended around battery.
• If air bubbles cease to float to the top of the electrolyte bottles,
tap lightly on top.
• DO NOT remove container from battery while it is draining.
• Never cut or pierce electrolyte container.
• After all the electrolyte has drained from the bottles into the bat-
tery, pull plastic electrolyte bottles gently out of the battery.
• Discard empty electrolyte bottles in a waste area that is inaccessi-
ble to children and animals.
• After filling let battery stand for at least 30 minutes before charg-
ing.This allows the electrolyte to penetrate plates for optimum
performance and ensures longer battery life.
• After 30 minutes the battery is ready for its initial charge. Place cap strip loosely over the filling holes
as shown in the picture.(see figure 23)
