CAUTION
If the ignition is in the “ON” position there
is potential for sparks and engagement of
components. Sparks could cause an explosion or
moving parts could accidentally engage causing
personal injury.
Be sure ignition switch is in the “OFF” position
before charging the battery.
2. Connect the negative battery cable.
Note:
If the positive cable is also disconnected,
connect the
positive (red) cable
to the positive
battery terminal
first
, then the negative (black) cable
to the negative battery terminal. Slip insulator boot
over the positive terminal.
Note:
If time does not permit charging the battery,
or if charging equipment is not available, connect
the negative battery cable and run the vehicle
continuously for 20 to 30 minutes to sufficiently
charge the battery.
Checking Tire Pressure
1. Check the tire pressure in the drive tires. Proper
inflation for drive tires is 12-16 psi (83-110 kPa).
2. Adjust the tire pressure within 12-16 psi (83-110
kPa) range to make the tire circumferences match as
closely as possible.
Greasing the Unit
