Setup

Activating the Battery
Parts needed for this procedure:
80
ounces
Bulk electrolyte with 1.265 specific gravity (Purchase
from a battery supply outlet.)
Procedure
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which
is a deadly poison and causes severe burns.
Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
Follow all instructions and comply with all
safety messages on the electrolyte container.
1. Open the rear access cover.
2. Remove the bolts, nuts, and clamp securing the
battery (Figure 2).
Important:
Never fill the battery with
electrolyte while the battery is installed on the
machine. Electrolyte can be spilled on other
parts and cause corrosion.

3. Tilt the top of the battery rearward and slide it out
of the traction unit.
Important:
Do not allow the battery posts to
touch the frame or hydraulic lines or it may
cause sparks.
4. Clean the top of the battery and remove the vent
caps (Figure 3).
5. Slowly pour electrolyte into each battery cell until the
level is up to the
lower
part of the tube (Figure 3).
Important:
Do not overfill the battery because
electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause severe
corrosion and damage to the chassis.

6. Leave the vent caps off and connect a charger to the
battery (Figure 4) and charge it at a rate of 4 amperes
or less for 4 hours (12 volts). Do not overcharge
the battery.
