components of water. Because of the loss of these gases and
the lowering of the electrolyte level, it will be necessary to
add pure, clean distilled water to bring the fluid to the proper
level. After filling, charge the battery to raise the specific
gravity to1.270 or greater.
OFF SEASON STORAGE
To prevent battery damage during extended periods of non-
use, the following basic maintenance items must be
performed.
1.
Remove battery from machine and wash the case and
battery tray with a mild solution of baking soda and water.
Rinse with lots of fresh water after cleaning.
2.
Using a wire brush or knife, remove any corrosion from
the cables and terminals.
3.
Make sure the electrolyte is at the proper level. Add
distilled water if necessary.
4.
Charge at a rate no greater than 1/10 of the battery's amp/
hr. capacity until the electrolyte's specific gravity reaches
1.270 or greater.
5.
The battery may be stored either in the machine with the
cables disconnected, or on a piece of wood in a cool place.
NOTE: Stored batteries lose their charge at the rate
of 1% per day. They should be fully recharged every
30 to 60 days during a non-use period. If stored
during winter months, the electrolyte will freeze at
higher temperatures as the battery discharges. The
chart indicates freezing points by specific gravity.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
Charge battery with a charger no larger than 1/10 of the
battery's amp/hr. rating and for as many hours as needed to
raise the specific gravity to 1.270 per cell or greater.
