2. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount of
distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the Battery,
below.
Adding Water to the Battery
The best time to add distilled water to the battery is just
before you operate the traction unit. This lets the water
mix thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
2. Lift off the filler caps (Fig. 26).
3. Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell until
the level is up to the lower part of the tube (Fig. 26).
Important Do not overfill the battery because
electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause severe corrosion and
damage to the chassis.
4. Press the filler caps onto the battery.
Charging the Battery
Important
Always keep the battery fully charged
(1.260 specific gravity). This is especially important to
prevent battery damage when the temperature is below
32
°
F (0
°
C).
1. Check the electrolyte level; refer to Checking
Electrolyte Level, page 25.
2. Remove the filler caps from the battery and connect a
3 to 4 amp battery charger to the battery posts. Charge
the battery at a rate of 4 amperes or less for 4 hours
(12 volts). Do not overcharge the battery.
3. Install the filler caps after the battery is fully charged.
Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks
and flames away from battery.
Warning
Servicing the Spark Plugs
Check the spark plugs after every 200 operating hours.
Ensure that the air gap between the center and side
electrodes is correct before installing each spark plug. Use
a spark plug wrench for removing and installing the spark
plugs and a gapping tool/feeler gauge to check and adjust
the air gap. Install new spark plugs if necessary.
Type: Champion Premium Gold 2071 or Champion
RC12YC (or equivalent) Air Gap: 0.030 in. (0.76 mm)
Removing the Spark Plug
s
1. Lower the loader arms, stop the engine, and remove
the key.
2. Pull the wires off of the spark plugs (Fig. 27).
3. Clean around the spark plugs.
4. Remove the spark plugs and metal washers.

Checking the Spark Plugs
1. Look at the center of the spark plugs (Fig. 28). If you
see light brown or gray on the insulator, the engine is
operating properly. A black coating on the insulator
usually means the air cleaner is dirty.
Important Never clean the spark plugs. Always
replace the spark plugs when they have a black coating,
worn electrodes, an oily film, or cracks.
