BEFORE CHARGING YOUR TRUCK BATTERY

• Charge the battery only in areas designated for 

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

  other controls are in the off or neutral position.
• 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   

  create a spark which could cause the battery to    

  explode.  

BATTERY SIZE IS IMPORTANT

Make certain you use the correct size, type and 

weight of battery.  Never operate a truck that has an 

underweight or undersize battery installed.
