Battery

• Check    the electrolyte flow.
  If no air bubbles [A] are coming up from the filler ports, or
    if the container cells have not emptied completely, tap the
    container [B] a few times.
                               NOTE
    ○Be careful not to have the battery fall down.
• Keep  the container in place. Don’t remove the container
  from the battery, the battery requires all the electrolyte
    from the container for proper operation.
                            NOTICE
    Removal of the container before it is completely
    empty can shorten the service life of the battery.
    Do not remove the container until it is completely
    empty.

• After filling, let the battery sit for 20  60 minutes with the
  electrolyte container kept in place, which is required for
    the electrolyte to fully permeate into the plates.
•   Make sure that the container cells have emptied com-
    pletely, and remove the container from the battery.

• Place the strip of caps [A] loosely over the filler ports,
  press down firmly with both hands to seat the strip of caps
    into the battery (don’t pound or hammer). When properly
    installed, the strip of caps will be level with the top of the
    battery.
                            NOTICE
    Once the strip of caps is installed onto the battery,
    never remove the caps, nor add water or electrolyte
    to the battery.

                               NOTE
    ○Charging the battery immediately after filling can
     shorten service life.
