• Never weld on the vehicle without first disconnecting both positive and negative
battery cables. Make sure the part you are welding is properly grounded.
• Connecting booster cables to start your vehicle is not a recommended practice.
Damage to engine electrical components could occur.
• Connect switch terminals properly, especially the ground wire.
Battery fluid contains sulphuric acid. If battery fluid comes in contact with skin or

All models are equipped with a 12 volt, wet cell type battery. The battery is located in the
engine compartment, on the right side in front of the driver’s position.
Battery
Check the fluid level every 50 hours of
operation. Remove the pod vents and make
sure each cell is filled to the fluid level as
shown in Fig ES-1. If the fluid has dropped
below the fill well, add distilled water until
the cell is filled to correct level. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
Checking the Fluid Level
Charging the Battery
Fill all new dry charged batteries with
electrolyte battery acid and let stand (off
cement floor) for 6 hours. Slow charge for
at least another 6 hours.
Ifthebatteryloses itselectricalcharge,remove
the battery from the ARGO and recharge it with a 12 volt battery charger at the rate of 10-
12 amps maximum. The battery should remain on charge until the specific gravity
reaches 1.265 on a hydrometer. Re-install the battery in the vehicle and try to start the
engine. If the battery fails to perform properly, have it tested by a battery service dealer.
Replace a defective battery immediately.
Ventilate area when charging. Keep away from spark, heat, cigarettes or open flame.
Cleaning the Battery Terminals and Cable Connections
Clean the battery terminals and cable connections every 100 hours. Remove the black
NEGATIVE (-) cables first. Make sure you reconnect the NEGATIVE (-) cables to the
NEGATIVE (-) post and the red POSITIVE (+) cables to the POSITIVE (+) posts.
Damage to the electrical system will occur if the cables are reversed.

Before cleaning the battery, remove it from the vehicle and make sure the pod vents are in
place. Soak a cloth in the soda/water mixture and scrub the top of the battery. After the
foaming has stopped, flush with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Battery Removal

terminal hardware.
4. Slide the battery out through the firewall area.
Battery Inspection
1. Inspect the battery for:
•cracks in the battery casing
•cracked or broken terminals
•exposed or corroded cells
•weak cells
2. Inspect the Battery for:
•corroded terminals
•low water level
If any of these conditions are noted, service the battery immediately. Adjust battery fluid
level with distilled water, and clean and grease the battery terminals.
