Battery Service
The battery is the heart of the electrical system. With
regular and proper service, battery life can be extended.
Additionally, battery and electrical component failure
can be prevented.
CAUTION

When working with batteries, use extreme cau-
tion to avoid splashing or spilling electrolyte.
Electrolyte can destroy clothing and burn skin or
eyes. Always wear safety goggles and a face
shield when working with batteries.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage terminal
posts or cable connectors when removing the bat-
tery cables.

C. Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top
of the battery which might indicate a loose or mis-
sing filler cap, overcharging, loose terminal post, or
overfilling. Also, check the battery case for dirt and
oil. Clean the battery with a solution of baking soda
and water, then rinse it with clean water.

short circuiting the battery, other components, or the op-
erators hands. Disconnect the positive (+) cable.
Disconnect the ground cable (−) first to prevent
3.
Make sure that the filler caps are on tightly.
4.
Remove battery from the battery compartment to a
service area. This will minimize possible battery dam-
age and allow better access for inspection and service.
D. Check that the cover seal is not broken away.
Replace the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
Inspection, Maintenance, and Testing
E. Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the lev-
el is below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all
cells with distilled water to the bottom of the cap
tubes. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15 minutes to al-
low sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.
1.
Perform following inspections and maintenance:
A. Check for cracks caused by overly tight or loose
hold−down clamp. Replace battery if cracked and
leaking.
2.
Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte.
B. Check battery terminal posts for corrosion. Use
a terminal brush or steel wool to clean corrosion
from the battery terminal posts.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is
clean before opening the battery caps.
A. Measure the specific gravity of each cell with a
hydrometer. Draw electrolyte in and out of the
hydrometer barrel prior to taking a reading to warm−
up the hydrometer. At the same time take the tem-
perature of the cell.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, tape or
block the vent holes to the filler caps and make sure
the caps are on tightly.
