Adding Water to the Battery
The best time to add distilled water to the battery is
just before you operate the machine. This lets the
water mix thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, and lower the boom.
2. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
3. Remove the battery from the machine; refer to
Removing the Battery (page 35) .
Important:
Never fill the battery with
distilled water while the battery is installed in
the machine. Electrolyte could spill on other
parts and cause corrosion.
4. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
5. Remove the vent caps from the battery ( Figure
49 ).
6. Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell
until the electrolyte level is up to the Upper line
(
Figure 49 ) on the battery case.
Important:
Do not overfill the battery;
electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause severe
corrosion and damage to the chassis.
7. Wait 5 to 10 minutes after filling the battery
cells. Add distilled water, if necessary, until the
electrolyte level is up to the Upper line (
Figure
49 ) on the battery case.
8. Install the battery vent caps.
Replacing the Fuses
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage
the parking brake (if applicable), and lower the
boom.
2. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
3. Remove the bolt and access panel on the right
side of the machine (
Figure 50 ).
