Charge the Battery

WARNING
Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the
gasses coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the
battery well during charging.
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine can be the
result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical
component. If there is any doubt about the cause of the
problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the battery,
see Clean the Battery and Cables.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by the
battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings included
in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge the battery
until fully charged. Do not charge at a rate higher than 10
amps.
