Battery Maintenance

The electrical power to operate the machine comes from
the storage batteries. Storage batteries need preventive
maintenance.
WARNING: Working with batteries can be
dangerous. Always wear eye pro-
tection and protective clothing
when working near batteries. NO
SMOKING!
To maintain the batteries in good condition, follow these
instructions:
1. Keep the electrolyte at the correct level. The correct
level is between 1/4" below the bottom of the tube in
each cell and above the tops of the plates. Check the
level of the electrolyte each time you charge the
batteries. See figure 15.
NOTE: Check the level of electrolyte prior to charging the
batteries. Be sure the plates in each cell are covered with
electrolyte . Do not top off the cells prior to charging the
battery. Electrolyte expands during charging. As a
result, the electrolyte could overflow from the cells.
Always top off the cells with distilled water after charging.
CAUTION: Irreversible damage will occur to
the batteries if the electrolyte
level does not cover the plates.
Keep the electrolyte at the cor-
rect level.
CAUTION: Machine damage and discharge
across the tops of the batteries
can occur if the batteries are
filled above the bottom of the
tube in each cell. Do not fill the
batteries up to the bottom of the
tube in each cell. Wipe any acid
from the machine or the tops of
the batteries. Never add acid to a
battery after installation.
CAUTION: Tap water may contain contami-
nants that will damage batteries.
Batteries must be refilled with
distilled water only.
2. Keep the tops of the batteries clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connectors clean. To clean
the top of the batteries, use a damp cloth with a
weak solution of ammonia or bicarbonate of soda
solution. To clean the terminals and connectors,
use a terminal and connector cleaning tool. Do
not allow ammonia or bicarbonate of soda to get
into batteries.
3. Keep the batteries charged.
