Maintenance Free Battery
IMPORTANT: Before you attach the battery cables to
the battery, check the battery date. The battery date
tells if the battery must be charged.
1. Check the top and the side of the battery for the
location of the battery date (Figure 9).
2. If the battery is put into service before the
battery date, the battery cables can be attached
without charging the battery. See "How To Install
The Battery Cables".
3. If the battery is put into service after the battery
date, the battery must be charged. See "How To
Charge The Maintenance Free Battery".
How to Charge the Maintenance Free Battery

not smoke. Keep the battery away from any

terminal.
3. Use a 12 volt battery charger to charge the

the positive (+) terminal is on the left side.
