17. Troubleshooting
2-83
Charging with the battery mounted on the machine
• Remove the battery cables from the positive and nega-
tive terminals of the battery before charging it. If this is
not done, abnormal voltage may be applied to the gener-
ator which could damage it.
• While charging the battery, remove all plugs to release
the gases generated by charging.
• If the battery overheats [the temperature of the electro-
lyte exceeds 113°F (45°C)], interrupt charging.
• Stop charging as soon as the process has been complet-
ed.
Overcharging could cause the following troubles:
• Overheating of the battery
• Decrease in battery electrolyte
• Battery failure
• Do not reverse polarity of the cable connections to the
battery (i.e., the negative cable to the positive terminal,
or the positive cable to the negative terminal).
Reversing the polarity of the connections will cause the
generator to be damaged.
• Handling the battery (except for checking the electrolyte
level and measuring the specific gravity of the electro-
lyte) should be performed after disconnecting the battery
cables.
