9.6 BATTERY INSTALLATION __________________________________________________
If the batteries have been cleaned and any acid in the
battery tray area neutralized, no corrosion to the
surrounding area should be present. Any corrosion found
should be immediately removed with a putty knife and a
wire brush. The area should be washed with a solution of
sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water and
thoroughly dried before priming and painting with a
corrosion resistant paint.
The batteries should be placed into the battery tray as
shown in
Figure 9B . Using batteries with the correct
physical size will prevent movement, but will not be tight
enough to cause distortion of the battery case.
Inspect all wires and terminals. Clean any corrosion from
the battery terminals or the wire terminals with a solution
of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and brush clean if
required.
Use care to connect the battery wires as shown in Figure
9C and tighten the battery post hardware securely.
Protect the battery terminals and battery wire terminals
with a commercially available protective coating.
Battery Pack Assembly:
1. Install batteries into battery tray.
2. Fasten fuse cable assembly (D) to battery pack with
screws, lockwashers, and nuts.
3. Fasten two cable jumper wires (E) into their
respective positions.
4. Thread the main cable (F) through the hole in the
side of the battery case lid (G) .
5. Attach the main cable (F) to the batteries, and
battery monitor (M) .
NOTE: There will be an Orange/Green wire with
insulated 1/4” terminal that is not used on the Eclipse
mowers. Seal end of the wire to prevent short-circuits.
6. Assemble the two halves of the battery case (G)
and (H) , with screws (J) , flat washers (K) , and
battery casing straps (L) .
Refer to Section 2.5 for battery specifications.
