Test
@M. Battery fluid (eleqtrolyte) contains sulturic acid. lt may couse sevore burns if it gets on your skin or in your eyes. Wearprotective clothing and a fac6 shield.- lf elestrolyte gets on your skin o. clothos, rinse it otf with wator imm€diately.- lf €leqtrolyte gets in your eyes. tlush it out by splashing water in your syes for at least 15 minutes; call a physicianimmediately.
. A battery gives off hydrogon gas. lf ignited, the hydrogen will €xplode and could crack the battery case and splatt€racid on you. Kgop sparks. flamss, and cigarettes away from the batt€ry,. Overcharging will raise the tomperatute of the electrolyte. This may torcs electrolyto to spray out of the battEry vents,Follow the charger manutacturer's instructions, and charge the battery at a proper ral€,
Use either a JCI or Bear ARBST tester, and follow the manufacturer's procedures. lf you don't have one of tnese comput-erized testers, follow this conventional test procedure:
To get accurate results, the temperature ofthe electrolyte must be between 70.F (21.c) and loo"F (38"c).

replace the batterv.
Check Indicator EYE Color
lf the indicator shows low electrolyte, add distilled
water if possible.
EYE Indicates OK
Test Load Capacity (#1)
. Apply 300 amp load for 15 seconds to remove surfacecharge.. Allow 15 seconds recovery period.. Apply test load (see Test Load Chart).. Record voltage at the end of 15 seconos.
Voltage stays above 9.6

Charge on High Setting (40 amps)
Charge until EYE shows charge is OK, plus an additional 30 minutes to
assure Jull charge.
NOTE: lf the battery charge is very low, it may be necessary to bypass
the charger's polarity protection circuitry.
lf the EYE does not show charge is OK within three hours, the battery is
no-good; replace it. Write down how long the battery was charged.

Relay Test
NOTE: See page 23-86 for turn signal/hazard relay inputIESI.
Normally-opon type:
'1. Check for continuity between the terminats.. There should be continuity between the No. I andNo. 3 terminals when power and ground are con-nected to the No. 2 and No. 4 terminals.. There should be no continuity between the No. 1and No. 3 terminals when power is disconnected.
