Battery gases. Explosion can cause severe injury or
death. Battery gases can cause an explosion. Do not smoke
or permit flames or sparks to occur near a battery at any time,
particularly when it is charging. Do not dispose of a battery in a
fire.
To prevent burns and sparks that could cause an
explosion, avoid touching the battery terminals with tools or
other metal objects. Remove all jewelry before servicing the
equipment. Discharge static electricity from your body before
touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface
away from the battery. To avoid sparks, do not disturb the
battery charger connections while the battery is charging.
Always turn the battery charger off before disconnecting the
battery connections. Ventilate the compartments containing
batteries to prevent accumulation of explosive gases.
Battery short circuits. Explosion can cause severe injury
or death.
Short circuits can cause bodily injury and/or
equipment damage. Disconnect the battery before generator
set installation or maintenance. Remove all jewelry before
servicing the equipment. Use tools with insulated handles.
Remove the negative (--) lead first when disconnecting the
battery.
Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when
reconnecting the battery. Never connect the negative (--)
battery cable to the positive (+) connection terminal of the
starter solenoid. Do not test the battery condition by shorting
the terminals together.
Battery electrolyte is a diluted sulfuric acid. Battery acid
can cause severe injury or death.
Battery acid can cause
blindness and burn skin. Always wear splashproof safety
goggles, rubber gloves, and boots when servicing the battery.
Do not open a sealed battery or mutilate the battery case. If
battery acid splashes in the eyes or on the skin, immediately
flush the affected area for 15 minutes with large quantities of
clean water. Seek immediate medical aid in the case of eye
contact. Never add acid to a battery after placing the battery in
service, as this may result in hazardous spattering of battery
acid.
Battery acid cleanup. Battery acid can cause severe
injury or death. Battery acid is electrically conductive and
corrosive. Add 500 g (1 lb.) of bicarbonate of soda (baking
soda) to a container with 4 L (1 gal.) of water and mix the
neutralizing solution. Pour the neutralizing solution on the
spilled battery acid and continue to add the neutralizing
solution to the spilled battery acid until all evidence of a
chemical reaction (foaming) has ceased. Flush the resulting
liquid with water and dry the area.
Refer to this section for general battery information and
maintenance. All generator set models use a negative
ground with a 12-volt or 24-volt engine electrical system.
Consult the generator set nameplate for the engine
electrical system voltage. Consult the generator set
spec sheet for battery capacity recommendations for
replacement purposes. The wiring diagrams provide
battery connection information.
See Figure 3-11,
Figure 3-12, and Figure 3-13 for typical battery
connections, including multiple battery configurations.
After reconnecting the battery cables, coat the terminals
with
petroleum jelly, silicon grease, or other
nonconductive grease.
Note: Some units require a reflective heat shield
insulative sleeve on the battery cables and other
wires that are fastened to the starter solenoid.
This sleeve is a conductive material and must be
secured approximately 25 mm (1 in.) away from
the exposed cable terminal.
