uncertain whether you have all of the instructions, contact your dealer before
operating the accessory.
9.1 ACCESSORY BATTERY
Your trailer may be outfitted with an accessory battery that operates a dump body,
tilt deck or other accessories. An accessory battery may be kept charged either by
the tow vehicle or by using the on-board battery maintainer/charger. If the trailer is
used daily, it is recommended that the battery charger be plugged in after each
days use. The accessory battery may be located in a tongue mounted battery box
or a side mounted box.
Connect a standard 3-prong extension cord to the outlet on the battery box. The
charger will shut off automatically when the battery is fully charged. Do not alter the
plug or use a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter plug.
