remove vents and charge at a rate of 1.2 amps for 10

hours on a fully discharged battery.

IMPORTANT:

Charging at a higher rate will damage

battery.

Battery

When charging battery remove it from the unit first.

Battery Electrolyte First Aid

Follow First Aid directions for contact with battery fluid.

• External Contact: Flush with water.

• Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes and

get medical attention immediately!

• Internal Contact: Drink large quantities of water.

Follow with Milk of Magnesia, beaten egg or

vegetable oil. Get medical attention immediately!

IMPORTANT:

In case of internal contact, DO NOT

induce vomiting.

Battery Charger

Under normal conditions the engine alternator will have

no problem keeping the battery charged. When unit

has set for an extended period of time without

operating and the battery has been completely

discharged, a battery charger will be required for

recharging.

Before using a charger, an attempt can be made to

recharge the battery using the engine alternator by

jump starting the unit and allowing the to engine run.

Jump Starting

Jump starting, battery charging or replacement is

required when the starter motor will not crank the

engine.

DO NOT charge a frozen battery. Let the battery thaw

out before putting on a charger.

To jump start battery:

1. Ensure battery is not frozen. If the fluid is frozen,

remove battery from unit and allow it to thaw before

charging.

2. The unit used for jump starting should have a 12

volt battery with at least 500 cold cranking

amperes, and a negatively grounded system.

3. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the

positive terminal of the discharged battery.

4. Connect the other end of the same jumper cable to

the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.

5. Connect one end of the second jumper cable to the

negative (-) terminal of the booster battery.

6. Make the final jumper cable connection to the

engine block or the furthest ground point away

from the discharged battery.

7. Start the engine.

8. Remove jumper cables in the reverse order of their

connection. Remove cable from ground point, the

negative (-) terminal of the booster battery, the

positive (+) terminal of the booster battery, and

then the positive (+) terminal of the discharged

battery.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT fast charge. Charging at higher

rate will damage or destroy battery.

CAUTION:

Connect positive (+) cable first,

negative (-) cable last.

WARNING:

When charging battery, remove it

from unit and make certain that you connect

positive (+) lead of charger to positive (+)

terminal and negative (-) lead to negative (-)

terminal. Reverse connections can cause

sparks and potential unsafe conditions.

WARNING:

ELECTRIC SHOCK may result in

injury and/or damage to unit.

DO NOT allow object to come into contact

with both terminals at the same time.

REVERSE CONNECTIONS may result in

sparks which can cause death or serious

injury. ALWAYS connect positive (+) lead of

charger to positive (+) terminal, and negative

(-) lead to negative (-) terminal.

ALWAYS connect positive (+) cable FIRST,

and negative (-) cable SECOND.

DO NOT TIP any battery beyond 45

angle in

any direction.

ALWAYS KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF

REACH of children.

WARNING:

FROZEN BATTERIES CAN

EXPLODE and result in death or serious

injury.

WARNING:

UNIT MOVEMENT can result in

death or serious injury. NEVER jump start unit

directly to the starter or starter solenoid. Unit

can move forward or backward and injure the

person jump starting unit.

CAUTION:

REVERSE CONNECTIONS may

result in sparks which may result in injury.

ALWAYS connect/disconnect cables in proper

order.
