MAINTENANCE

Battery (See FIGURE 16. And FIGURE 17.)
WARNING
The acid in the electrolyte can cause injury. If the
electrolyte is spilled, use water to flush the area. Use
a solution of sodium bicarbonate (soda) to make the
acid neutral. Acid in the eyes must be flushed with
water immediately. Wear eye protection.
Batteries generate explosive fumes. Keep the vents in
the caps clean. Keep sparks or open flame away from
the battery area. Do not make sparks from the battery
connections. Disconnect the battery ground cable
when doing maintenance.
1. Keep the battery and cable terminals clean. Check the
electrolyte level (unless maintenance--free battery). Keep
the electrolyte level above the separators and plates. Use
distilled water. Do not fill the battery more than to the bot-
tom of the internal filler neck.
2. If the battery becomes discharged and requires a
booster battery to start the engine, follow these proce-
dures carefully when connecting the jumper cables:
a. Always connect the positive jumper cable to the
positive terminal of the discharged battery and the
negative jumper cable to the negative terminal.
b. Always connect the jumper cable that is the ground
cable last.
c. Always connect the jumper cables to the dis-
charged battery before connecting them to the
booster battery.
Air Filter (See FIGURE 20.)
WARNING
Compressed air can move particles so that they cause
injury to the user or to other personnel. Make sure that
the path of the compressed air is away from all person-
nel. Wear protective goggles or a face shield to prevent
injury to the eyes.
Check the air filter every 250 hours of operation. Very
dirty conditions will require a daily inspection and cleaning
or installation of a new filter element. Use compressed air
to clean the filter element. Air pressure must be less than
210 kPa (30 psi). Apply the air from the inside to the out-
side of the filter element.
