Battery Maintenance

The electrical power to operate the machine comes from the
Correct fill level
storage batteries. Storage batteries need preventive main-
tenance.
To maintain the batteries in good condition, follow these
instructions:
1. Keep the electrolyte at the correct level. The correct

NOTE: Check the level of electrolyte prior to charging the

batteries. Be sure the plates in each cell are covered with
electrolyte . Do not top off the cells prior to charging the
battery. Electrolyte expands during charging. As a result,
the electrolyte could overflow from the cells. Always top off
the cells with distilled water after charging.

level is between 1/4" below the bottom of the tube in
each cell and above the tops of the plates. Check the
level of the electrolyte each time you charge the
batteries. See figure #7.
CAUTION:
Irreversible damage will occur to
the batteries if the electrolyte level
does not cover the plates. Keep the
electrolyte at the correct level.
CAUTION:
Machine damage and discharge
across the tops of the batteries can
occur if the batteries are filled
above the bottom of the tube in
each cell. Do not fill the batteries
up to the bottom of the tube in each
cell.
Wipe any acid from the
machine or the tops of the batter-
ies. Never add acid to a battery
after installation.
CAUTION:
Tap water may contain contami-
nants that will damage batteries.
Batteries must be re-filled with dis-
tilled water only.
Keep the terminals and connectors clean. To clean the
top of the batteries, use a damp cloth with a weak
solution of ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solution.
To clean the terminals and connectors, use a terminal
and connector cleaning tool. Do not allow ammonia or
bicarbonate of soda to get into batteries.
