CAUTION
E. Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the lev-
el is below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all
cells with distilled water to the bottom of the cap
tubes. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15 minutes to al-
low sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves
when working with electrolyte. Charge
the battery in a well ventilated so gases
produced while charging can dissipate.
Since thegases areexplosive, keepopen
flame and electrical spark away from the
battery; do not smoke. Nausea may
result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug
charger from electrical outlet before con-
necting to, or disconnecting charger
