FOR SAFETY: Before servicing machine, wear per-

sonal protection equipment. Avoid contact with bat-

tery acid.

1. Park the machine on a level surface, remove key and

disconnect battery cables.

2. If needed, neutralize the top of the batteries and the

battery compartment of any exposed battery fluid with

a mixture of water and baking soda. Remove batteries

if necessary.

3. Remove and discard the white battery caps from the

Trojan batteries (Figure 1).

4. Install the water valve cap assemblies on batteries.

Press each cap until it “clicks” into position (Figure 1).

Be careful when inserting valve not to damage float.

5. Measure and cut the supplied solution hose to the

appropriate lengths and connect the hoses as shown.

Before cutting hose, plan for a little hose slack

between hose connections. Ensure hose connections

are fully seated (Figure 2).

IMPORTANT: Make sure to route the hoses under the

battery cables to avoid any risk of the caps becoming

unseated or hose kinking.

6. Attach the Instruction tag to the intake hose assembly

with cable- ties as shown (Figure 2).

watering kit. Do not add water to batteries before

charging, the electrolyte level will expand and may

overflow when charging.

2. After charging batteries, check the electrolyte level

indicator on each battery cap. If any of the indicator

floats are low, add water as described in the next step

(Figure 3).
