BATTERY MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Keep Sparks And Open Flame
Away. Keep Battery Hood Open When Charging.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, wear
protective gloves and safety glasses when
handling batteries or battery cables. Avoid contact
with battery acid.
1.
Always follow proper charging instructions (See
BATTERY CHARGING).
2.
Check fluid level (A) in each battery cell. The fluid
level should be 1 cm (3/8 in.) from the bottom of
sight tubes after charging. Add distilled water if
needed. DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilled batteries
can overflow during charging due to fluid
expansion (Figure 39).

3.
After charging batteries, measure the specific
gravity in each battery cell using a hydrometer
(Figure 40). This will determine the charge level
and condition of the batteries. If one or more of
the battery cells test lower than the other battery
cell (0.050 or more), the cell is damaged,
shortened, or is about to fail.
NOTE: Do not take reading immediately after adding
distilled water. The water and acid must be thoroughly
mixed in order for accurate reading.
