Notes

BEFORE CHARGING YOUR TRUCK BATTERY

• Charge the battery only in areas designated for 

  that use.
• See that the battery cells are filled to the proper 

  level. Never use an open flame to check the battery.
• Make certain the charger is the same voltage and

  amperage as your battery.
• Read the battery charger instructions.
• Be sure the charger is turned OFF before connecting

  the battery to the charger. Otherwise you might

  explode.  
• Make sure the truck key switch is turned off and all  

  other controls are in the off or neutral position.
