BATTERY
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and
understand Safety Rules in Safety Section
before proceeding.
When charging battery remove it from unit first. Keep
batteries out of reach of children. ALWAYS follow
information provided on battery by the battery
manufacturer. Lead acid batteries generate explosive
gases. Severe chemical burns can result from improper
handling of battery electrolyte. Wear safety glasses and
proper protective gear when handling batteries to prevent
electrolyte from coming in contact with eyes, skin or
clothing.
Terminals
Keep battery and its terminals clean. Inspect monthly to
maintain best performance. To clean terminals, remove
battery from unit by removing cables.
Remove tie down rod nuts and lift battery out. Clean or
service battery away from unit. Remove corrosion from
battery terminals and cable connections with wire brush,
then wash with a weak baking soda solution.
After cleaning, apply a thin coat of grease or petroleum
jelly to terminals and cable ends to retard corrosion.
Reinstall battery.
Electrolyte Level
Every 25 hours of operation check electrolyte level of
each cell by removing caps one at a time. The electrolyte
level should be at level indicated. Use distilled water to fill
each cell if needed. Install and tighten each cap after
checking.
IMPORTANT: When distilled water is added to battery
during freezing weather, battery must be charged to mix
water with electrolyte, or water will remain at top and
freeze.
Battery Charger
Under normal conditions the engine alternator will have
no problem keeping battery charged. When unit has set
for an extended period of time without operation and the
battery has been completely discharged, a battery
charger will be required for recharging.
Before using a charger, an attempt can be made to
recharge the battery using the engine alternator by jump
starting the unit and allowing the engine to run.
Charging
WARNING: FROZEN BATTERIES CAN
EXPLODE and result in death or serious injury.
DO NOT charge a frozen battery. Let the battery
thaw out before putting on a charger.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT fast charge. Charging at a higher
rate will damage or destroy battery.
ALWAYS follow information provided on battery by
battery manufacturer. Contact battery manufacturer for
extensive instructions to charge battery.
1. Put unit into service position to gain access to
battery.
2. Disconnect negative (–) cable first, then positive (+)
cable (Figure 12).
3. Remove hold down and remove battery.
4. Place Battery on bench or other well ventilated place
where electrolyte spill will not create damage.
5. Initial Battery Setup - Remove caps and fill each
cell to level indicated with electrolyte at 1.265 ± 0.05
specific gravity and 80˚F (27˚C). Let battery stand for
thirty minutes. Check electrolyte level and add more
if necessary.
6. Connect positive (+) lead of charger to positive (+)
terminal, and negative (–) lead to negative (–)
terminal.
7. Charge the battery at two and a half amps for ten
hours or until all cells are gassing freely and the
specific gravity is constant over three 30 minute
intervals.
8. Immediately after charging, check electrolyte level. If
low, add distilled water to bring cell up to required
level.
9. Replace caps finger tight, wash off and dry battery.
10. Reinstall battery into unit and connect positive (+)
cable first, then negative (–) cable.

Jump Starting
The unit used for jump starting should have a 12 volt
battery with at least 500 cold cranking amperes, and a
negatively grounded system.
1. Ensure battery is not frozen. If the fluid is frozen,
remove battery from unit and allow it to thaw before
charging.
2. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery.
3. Connect the other end of the same jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.
