Maintenance
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can
result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep
covers open when charging.
Les batteries émettent du gaz hydrogène. Une
explosion ou un incendie peut en résulter.
Maintenez les étincelles et les flammes nues à
l’écart. Gardez les carters ouverts lors du charge-
ment.
4.
Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell.
Before charging, add just enough distilled water to
cover the plates. After charging is complete, add
just enough distilled water to bring up the level to
the indicator ring. If the water level is too high
before charging, normal expansion rate of the elec-
trolyte may cause an overflow. Resulting in a loss
of battery acid balance and damage the machine.
5.
Replace the battery caps, and leave them in place
while charging.
6.
Unplug the battery connector from the machine.
FOR SAFETY: When charging, connect the
charger to the batteries before connecting the
charger to the AC wall outlet. Never connect the
charger to the AC wall outlet first. Hazardous
sparks may result.
7.
Plug the charger connector into the battery
connector. Connect the charger AC plug to a wall
outlet. The charger gauge should indicate that the
batteries are charging.
8.
When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect
the charger from the AC wall outlet, then discon-
nect the charger from the batteries.
9.
Connect the batteries to the machine connector.
10. Check the electrolyte level. It should be up to the
indicator ring. If necessary, add distilled water.
11. Lower the battery cover.
Changing Batteries
Stop the machine in a clean area next to the charger.
Turn off machine.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
1.
Raise the battery cover.
2.
Disconnect battery pack from machine.
3.
Use the proper size open end wrench to discon-
nect main ground wire first and secure cable
terminal away from batteries.
4.
Disconnect main positive lead and secure cable
terminals away from batteries.
5.
Loosen both terminals on each jumper cable and
remove one at a time.
6.
Prepare a suitable site to place the batteries.
7.
Attach suitable battery lifting device and lift
batteries from the machine.
Batteries are a potential environmental hazard.
Consult your battery supplier for safe disposal
methods.
Les batteries constituent un danger potentiel pour
l'environnement. Consultez le fournisseur de votre
batterie pour connaître les méthodes d'élimination
