FUSE
BATTERY
The battery must be removed to check the electrolyte level
and specific gravity.
Remove the right frame cover.
Remove battery
lead at the battery terminal.
Remove battery lead.
Remove battery from the chassis.
Check electrolyte for level and specific gravity. Add
distilled water, as necessary, to keep the surface of the
electrolyte above the LOWER level line
but not above the
UPPER level line . For checking specific gravity, use a
hydrometer to determine the charged condition. An S.G.
reading of 1.28 (20 C) or under means that the battery
needs recharging off the machine: take it off and charge it
from a recharger. Charging the battery in place can lead to
failure of the regulator/rectifier.
O
To install the battery, reverse the procedure described above.
Make sure that the breather pipe is tightly secured and
undamaged, and is routed as shown in the figure.
The fuse locates on the belt of the battery. In case of engine
stop suddenly or opened circuit, the fuse must be inspected.
Standard specific gravity: 1.28 ± 0.01 at 20 C
