 BATTERY VOLTAGE (OPEN CIRCUIT
 VOLTAGE) INSPECTION
 Remove the floor board.
 Open the battery cover and disconnect the
 battery cables.
 Measure the voltage between the battery
 terminals.
 Fully charged : 13.1V
 Undercharged : 12.3V max.
 Battery charging inspection must be                positive (+) cable     negative (-) cable
   performed with a voltmeter.
 CHARGING
 Connect the charger positive (+) cable to the
 battery positive (+) terminal.
