CAUTION
Important Battery Service, Installation, and
Charging Tips for Electronic Fuel Injection
Engines:
●
Do not allow the battery cables to touch
opposing terminals. When connecting
battery cables attach the positive (+)
cable to positive (+) battery terminal
first, followed by negative (-) cable to
negative (-) battery terminal.
●
Never start the engine when the cables
are loose or poorly connected to the
battery terminals.
●
Never disconnect battery while engine
is running.
●
Never use a quick battery charger to
start the engine.
●
Never “jump start” the engine using
another source. Electricity fluctua
-
tions can damage the ECU (Electronic
Control Unit).
●
Always disconnect negative (-) battery
cable lead before charging battery, and
also unplug harness from ECU before
performing any welding on equipment.
Raise catcher box up for battery access (refer to
Front Body Latch Release
in
Operating Instruc
tions
). Check the battery for electrolyte level and
charge. The electrolyte level should be at the bot
tom of the vent wells [1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm)
above plates]. If the specific gravity is less than
1.225, the battery needs charging. If the battery has
been shipped dry, or is wet but needs service, refer
to the following instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure battery is securely mount
ed in the frame. A loose battery may cause damage
to the case resulting in acid leakage and severe
damage to the machine. A hazard may be created
by damage to critical working parts and safety sys
tems.
Wet Battery Service
If the battery has been shipped wet, but the electro
lyte level is low or the battery needs to be charged
then:
1. Fill each battery cell with distilled water to the
bottom of the vent wells.
2. Charge battery. Refer to
Battery Charging
in
this section.
