GTJZ0612E&0812E&1012E&1212E Maintenance Manual
•
Always wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles
when handling the battery.
•
Do not smoke near the battery, and keep the battery
away from sparks, flames and metal objects.
•
Use a wrench with a rubber handle when
connecting the battery.
•
The electrolyte is the mixed solution of acid and
water. Do not allow it to contact skin.
•
Wash immediately with water if acid contacts the
skin or the eyes.
•
Be sure the battery cable connectors are properly
tightened to the battery terminal. Battery cable
connectors that are too tight or loose could damage
the terminal or cause a fire.
•
Avoid a short circuit by never placing objects on the
battery and touching both battery terminals at the
same time with a metal object.
•
The wet lead-acid battery will release small
amounts of gas in the process of use, particularly in
the charging process. Be sure to charge the battery
in a well-ventilated place.
•
Do not add acid into the battery.
•
Always keep the battery vertical. The electrolyte in
the battery may spill from the battery if the battery is
tilted or placed on its side.
BATTERY CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Battery cable and torque value:
•
The battery cable provides connection among and
between battery, equipment and charging system.
Connect the battery, the charging system and the
equipment with a flexible cable. An improper
connection could lead to poor performance, battery
damage or cause a fire.
•
The tightening torque of cable fixation nut shall be
executed according to the following table:
Table 5-3
Nut
specifications
Torque
M8
9 ~ 11 Nm (80 ~ 97 lbf-in.)
M10
18 ~ 23 Nm(160 ~ 204 lbf-in. )
•
Be sure the battery cable connectors are properly
tightened to the battery terminal. Battery cable
connectors that are too tight or loose could damage
the terminal or cause a fire.
•
Battery terminals could become corroded if not kept
clean and dry. To prevent corrosion, apply a thin
layer of petroleum jelly or use a terminal protector.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Inspection
•
Inspect the battery. The top of the battery and
terminal connections must be kept clean and free
from dust and corrosion and must remain dry.
•
Liquid on top of the battery could indicate there is
too much water in the battery.
•
Inspect the connections between the battery cables
and other components. Tighten all loose
connections.
•
Replace damaged battery cables.
•
Be sure the vent caps are properly installed on the
battery.
Cleaning
•
Clean the top, terminals and connections of the
battery with a cloth or brush and mixed solution of
sodium bicarbonate and water. Do not let the
cleaning solution enter the battery.
•
Clean the top, terminals and connections with water
and wipe them dry with a cloth. Apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the terminals or use terminal
protector.
•
Keep the area around the battery clean and dry.
Filling in Distilled Water
•
If necessary, add distilled water into the battery. The
frequency of adding water depends on the battery
applications and working temperature. Inspect the
battery every few weeks to determine if water needs
to be added. Generally, frequent battery use
requires frequent additions of water.
•
Fully charge the battery before filling it with distilled
water. Only add distilled water into the discharged or
partially charged battery if the plate electrode is
exposed; in this case, fill it with distilled water to the
level just above the plate. Then, charge the battery
as follows:
1.
Clean the vent caps before removing them to
prevent dirt and debris from entering the battery.
Inspect the electrolyte level. If the level is highe
than the plate, add water. If the level is lower
than the plate, add distilled water or deionized
water.
2.
With a standard battery, add water until the level
is 3 mm (0.12 in) below the vent well(the plastic
cover inside the vent).
3.
After filling the battery with water, install the vent
caps on the battery.
BATTERY CHARGING
Proper charging is essential for maximizing the battery
performance. Insufficient or excessive charging may
shorten the service life of the battery significantly. Most
chargers are automatic and pre-programmed, but some
chargers allow the user to set the voltage and current
values. Details about proper charging are as follows:
