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:
http://batterycouncil.org
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.
Once every six months, a GMP ASD should inspect the
battery system. At this time, the battery condition and
state of charge should be checked using a load test
battery. The battery should be recharged or replaced as
required.
Battery service must be performed or supervised by
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away.
Observe the following precautions when working on
batteries:
• 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: Wash spilled electrolyte down with an acid neu-
tralizing 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. Add bicarbonate of soda solution until
the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. Flush the
resulting liquid with water.
NOTE: Discharge state electricity before touching bat-
tery by first touching a grounded metal surface.
Battery Installation and Replacement
When required, the battery must be replaced with one of
equivalent size, voltage, and CCA (cold crank amp
capacity). Minimum CCA for this unit is 950. Contact a
GMP ASD for correct battery size. A new battery must be
filled with the proper electrolyte and be fully charge
before installing.
Battery cables are connect to the unit at the factory.
Connect cables to battery posts as follows:
NOTE: Turn the battery disconnect to OFF before
changing the battery.
1. Connect red battery cable from starter contactor to
positive (POS or +) battery post.
2. Connect black battery cable to negative (NEG or -)
battery post.
3. See Engine and Heater Startup .
