When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
CAUTION

or recharging the battery, turn off
all accessories and stop the
engine.
• The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed last
when the battery is disconnected.

recharge it by slow charging (trickle)
for 10 hours.

The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in an
area with good ventilation.
Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or
flame near the battery.
Watch the battery during charg-

ing rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if
the temperature of the electrolyte
of any cell exceeds 120°F (49°C).

If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A
