Due to shipping regulations, the battery in your ProMark has
been shipped to you empty. Before using the ProMark, the
battery must be filled with electrolyte (acid) and then charged.
Follow the instructions below.
Battery electrolyte can be purchased at your local
i
hardware or auto parts retailer.
Battery electrolyte is very hazardous. Make sure
to follow all precautions and warnings on the
electrolyte container.
elecTrolyTe SpecIfIcATIoNS
In cool or temperate climates, purchase electrolyte with a
specific gravity of 1.270 - 1.280.
In tropical climantes, purchase electrolyte with a specific gravity
of 1.250 - 1.260.

1. Place the battery on a charge for 3 to 5 hours at the
approximate current equivalent to 1/10th of its rated
capacity.
a. If electrolyte level falls after charging, fill with distilled
water to upper level.
b. After water is added, continue charging for 1 to 2 hours
in order to mix the water with the electrolyte.
2. After charging, check the battery voltage three times at 30
minute intervals. Make sure the voltage is constant over
the three readings.
3. Replace the filler plugs (if needed) and wash off any
electrolyte spillage with clean water.
