Place the roller on a level base. The engine
must be switched off and the reserve/par-
king brake knob pushed in for all checking
and adjustments on the roller unless other-
wise specified.
Never use a naked flame when checking the
battery. The electrolyte emits explosive gas
while the alternator is charging.
The battery is located in the front beam, underneath the
cover.
Wear safety goggles. The battery contains
acid. Rinse with water if electrolyte comes
into contact with the body.
Take off the cell caps and make sure that electrolyte is
about 10 mm above the plates. Check the level of all
cells. Top off with distilled water to the right level if the
level is low. If the ambient temperature is below
freezing, run the engine for a while before topping off
with distilled water. Otherwise the electrolyte might
freeze.
Make sure that ventilation holes in the cell cover are not
clogged. Then put the cover back on.
The cable shoes should be clean and well tightened.
Clean corroded cable shoes and grease them with acid-
free Vaseline.
When disconnecting the battery, always
disconnect the negative cable first. When
connecting the battery, always connect the
positive cable first.
Discard used batteries wisely. Batteries
contain lead, which is harmful to the
environment.
Before doing any electric welding on the
machine, disconnect the battery ground
cable and then all electrical connections to
the alternator.
