MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Owner’s Manual
Over the life of the battery, a considerable amount of water is
consumed. It is important that the water used be pure and free
of contaminants that could reduce the life of the battery by
reducing the chemical reaction. The water must be distilled or
purified by an efficient filtration system. Even if the water is
colorless, odorless, tasteless and fit for drinking, the water
should be analyzed to see that it does not exceed the impurity
levels specified in the table.
An automatic watering gun or a battery watering jug, available
from many auto parts stores may be used to fill the batteries.
These watering devices are accurate, easy to use and allow
for rapid filling. They also maintain the correct electrolyte level
within the battery cells.
The watering device should only be used if the electrolyte level is less than 1/2” (13 mm) above top of plates.
Electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the skin and
eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with clear water. Con-
tact a physician immediately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10
ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liter) of water and
flushed with water.
Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water or
charging batteries.
