and remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Warning
The battery produces explosive gases: keep it away
from heat sources and flames.
Charge the battery in a ventilated room.
Connect the red battery charger lead to the positive (+)
terminal on the battery, and the black lead to the
negative (-) terminal.
Important
Always connect up the battery before switching the
battery charger on: failure to do so can result in sparking
at the battery terminals that could ignite the gases inside
the cells.
Always connect the red positive terminal (+) first.
Reinstall the battery on its mount and secure the
brackets with the screws (1). Connect the terminals.
