Owner’s Manual for Indirect Fired Heater
Maintenance
Battery Inspection
Always recycle batteries in accordance with local laws
and regulations. Contact your local solid waste collection
site or recycling facility to obtain information on local
recycling processes. For more information on battery
recycling, visit the Battery Council International website
at:
NOTE:
Disconnect the black negative cable or turn off
the battery switch before inspecting or working on the
electrical system. Always disconnect the negative cable
first.
An authorized operator should inspect the engine battery
monthly. At this time, the battery fluid level should be
checked using a load tester, and distilled water added if
needed. Battery cables and connections should also be
inspected for cleanliness and corrosion.
A GMP ASD should inspect the battery system once
every six months. The battery condition and state of
charge should be checked using a load test battery at
this time. The battery should be recharged or replaced as
required.
Battery service is to be performed or supervised by per-
sonnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required pre-
cautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away.
Observe the following precautions when working on bat-
teries:
•
Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
•
Use tools with insulated handles.
•
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
•
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of battery.
•
Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or
disconnecting battery terminals.
NOTE:
Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an
acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a
solution of 1 lb (454 g) bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
to 1 gal (3.8 L) of water. The bicarbonate of soda solution
is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming)
has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with
water.
NOTE:
Discharge static electricity by first touching a
grounded metal surface before touching the battery.
Battery Installation and Replacement
The battery must be replaced with one of equivalent size,
voltage, and CCA (cold crank amp capacity), when
required. Minimum CCA for this unit is 660. Contact a
GMP ASD for correct battery size. A new battery must be
filled with the proper electrolyte and be fully charged
before installing.
Battery cables are connected to the unit at the factory.
Connect cables to battery posts as follows.

DANGER
Electrocution. Do not wear jewelry while
working on this equipment. Doing so will
result in death or serious injury.
(000137a)
WARNING
Explosion. Batteries emit explosive gases while charging.
Keep fire and spark away. Wear protective gear when
working with batteries. Failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury.
(000164)
WARNING
Electrical shock. Disconnect battery ground
terminal before working on battery or battery
wires. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury.
(000162)
WARNING
Explosion. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries
are explosive. Electrolyte solution can cause burns and
blindness. If electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, flush with water
and seek immediate medical attention.
(000163a)
WARNING
Risk of burn. Do not open or mutilate batteries.
Batteries contain electrolyte solution which can
cause burns and blindness. If electrolyte contacts
skin or eyes, flush with water and seek immediate
medical attention.

WARNING
Accidental Start-up. Disconnect the negative battery
cable, then the positive battery cable when working
on unit. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING
Environmental Hazard. Always recycle batteries at an
official recycling center in accordance with all local
laws and regulations. Failure to do so could result in
environmental damage, death or serious injury.
(000228)
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Never add acid to a battery.
Add distilled water only. Failure to do so could
result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
