NOTE: Remove all tools from tool boards on side &

Rear Panel Removal:
Start with rear toolboard panel removal, tap bottom
of toolboard with rubber mallet in an upward
motion to loosen from slots (Fit. A). After toolbard
is removed, remove two top screws in rear panel
cover plate and loosen two bottom screws - remove
panel. NOTE: do not remove battery cables to check
water levels.
Side Panel Removal:
Remove 7 bolts located on side panel (Fig. B). To
remove panel, pull away from welder and maneuver
downward to clear the handle on the welder.
Repeat for opposite side.
To check water levels, remove side panel covers
from welder (reer to 4.3.2). Slide each battery out
one at a time approximately 6 inches from tray,
enough to expose 3 battery cells. Remove the three
cell caps that are accessible, check water level with
flashlight and fill if necessary. If low, fill with distilled
water to the edge of vent well. Do not fill more than
1/8” (2mm) from the bottom of the vent well.
Repeat steps to service remaining 3 cells.
The charging process can result in a normal gradual depletion of the water levels in the welder batteries.
It is very important to keep the distilled water level within specification. Do not let the water level go too
low, this will reduce battery life and could destroy the battery. When the cell inside the battery have
been exposed to air, the cell is most likely damaged and cannot be recovered even if water is filled.
Check level every six months. To check water level, follow steps below.
