MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES
FOR SAFETY: Before servicing machine, stop on
level surface, turn off machine, remove key and set
parking brake if equipped.
The lifetime of the batteries depends on their proper
maintenance. To get the most life from the batteries;
• Do not charge the batteries more than once a day
and only after running the machine for a minimum
of 15 minutes.
• Do not leave the batteries partially discharged for
long period of time.
• Only charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area
to prevent gas build up. Charge batteries in areas
with ambient temperatures 80ºF/27ºC or less.
• Allow the charger to complete charging the
batteries before re-using the machine.
• Maintain the proper electrolyte levels of fl ooded
(wet) batteries by checking levels weekly.
This machine is equipped with either fl ooded (wet)
lead-acid or maintenance-free (Sealed AGM) batteries
supplied by Tennant.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, keep all
metal objects off batteries. Avoid contact with
battery acid.
MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERIES
Maintenance-free (Sealed AGM) batteries do
not require watering. Cleaning and other routine
maintenance is still required.
FLOODED (WET) LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
The fl ooded (wet) lead-acid batteries require routine
watering as described below. Check the battery
electrolyte level weekly.
NOTE: If machine is equipped with the automatic
or manual battery watering system, proceed to the
BATTERY WATERING SYSYEM instructions.
The electrolyte level should be slightly above the
battery plates as shown before charging. Add distilled
water if low. DO NOT OVERFILL. The electrolyte
will expand and may overfl ow when charging. After
charging, distilled water can be added up to about 3
mm (0.12 in) below the sight tubes.
Before Charging
After Charging
NOTE: Make sure the battery caps are in place while
charging. There may be a sulfur smell after charging
batteries. This is normal.
CHECKING CONNECTIONS / CLEANING
After every 200 hours of use, check for loose battery
connections and clean the surface of the batteries,
including terminals and cable clamps to prevent battery
corrosion. Use a scrub brush with a strong mixture of
baking soda and water. Do not remove battery caps
when cleaning batteries.
