Connector

• Plug the charger connector into the battery socket.

• Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.

Notes:

- If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a switch, make sure the switch is “ON”.

- Use the charger only in a wall outlet. Do not plug the charger into a ceiling outlet.

• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for cracks and other damage which may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. If damage is detected, do not charge the battery or use it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.

• Do not place the battery on a surface (such as kitchen counter tops) which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you place your battery.

• Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.• Once the battery is charged, disconnect the battery connector from the charger connector. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet. Refer to the Battery Installation section for instructions on installing your battery. If your battery is already installed in your vehicle, simply re-connect the motor harness connector to the battery.
