DANGER
• Due to the danger of an exploding battery, wear a full face shield and rubber gloves when
working near a battery.
• Battery – Explosive gases! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the vehicle and
service area. Ventilate when charging or operating vehicle in an enclosed area. Wear a full
face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
• Battery – Poison! Contains acid! Causes severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Antidotes:
- External: Flush with water. Call a physician immediately.
- Internal: Drink large quantities of milk or water. Follow with milk of magnesia or vegetable
oil. Call a physician immediately.
- Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Call a physician immediately.
NOTE:
The battery must be properly maintained and fully charged in order to perform the following test
procedures. Battery maintenance procedures, including watering information and allowable min-
eral content, can be found in section 14 of this manual.
See Battery on page 14-30.
1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout switch in the MAIN-
TENANCE position. Chock the wheels.
2. Check for loose or corroded battery terminal connections. Remove the negative (–) cable first and clean,
tighten, and replace connections as necessary.
Hydrometer Test
A hydrometer (CCI P/N 1011478) measures the specific gravity. The greater the specific gravity, the greater
the state of charge of the battery. A fully charged battery should read between 1.250 and 1.280 at 80 °F
(27 °C). Never add acid to the battery to obtain a higher specific gravity
