MAINTENANCE
Every 50 Hours
Inspecting the Battery Fluid Level
and Replenishing
DANGER
�
Do not use the battery when the fluid
level is below the lower level. Doing
so will hasten the deterioration of the
internal portions of the battery and
shorten the battery life, and can also
cause rupturing (or an explosion).
�
Batteries generate flammable and
explosive gases. Keep arcs, sparks,
flames and lighted tobacco away.
�
Use a dampened cloth to clean the
area of the fluid level lines and check
the fluid level. Note that if this area
is cleaned with a dry cloth, static
electricity could cause ignition or
explosion.
WARNING
�
Do not fill the battery above the upper
level. Doing so could cause the fluid to
leak, contact and damage the skin, or
cause parts to corrode.
�
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
will damage eyes or skin on contact.
• If acid contacts eyes, flush
immediately with clean water and
get prompt medical attention.
• If acid is accidentally swallowed,
drink large quantities of water or milk
and call a physician immediately.
• If acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash off immediately with clean
water.
Inspection
IMPORTANT: Check the fluid level of all
cells, even when the fluid level can be
checked by indicator.
1. Open the mud guard.
2. Inspect the indicator (1).
• Blue: Good
• White: Charging needed
• Red: Insufficient battery fluid
3. Inspect the fluid level.
The fluid level should be between the
lines indicating the upper level (H) and
lower level (L). If not, add distilled water
up to line (H).
Lubricating the Slew Motor Pinion
1. Use the grease gun to supply grease to
the grease nipple (2).
2. Wipe off the grease expelled from the
grease nipple.
