BATTERY INSPECTION
3. Check:
S Specific gravity
Less than 1.280 ! Recharge battery.
Charging current:
1.4 amps/10 hrs
Specific gravity:
1.280 at 20_C (68_F)
Replace the battery if:
S Battery voltage will not rise to a specific value
or if bubbles fail to rise even after many hours
of charging.
S Sulfation of one or more cells occurs, as indi-
cated by the plates turning white, or if an accu-
mulation of material exists in the bottom of the
cell.
S Specific gravity readings after a long, slow
charge indicate one cell to be lower than the
rest.
S Warpage or buckling of plates or insulators is
evident.
CAUTION:
Always charge a new battery before using it
to ensure maximum performance.
4. Install:
S Battery
S Battery holder
CAUTION:
Connect the positive lead 1 first and then
connect the negative lead 2 .
