Battery Service
The battery is the heart of the electrical system. With
regular and proper service, battery life can be extend.
Additionally, battery and electrical component failure
can be prevented.
Inspection, Maintenance, and Testing
1.
Perform following inspections and maintenance:
A. Check for cracks. Replace battery if cracked or
leaking.
CAUTION
B. Check battery terminal posts for corrosion. Use
wire brush to clean corrosion from posts.
When working with batteries, use extreme cau-
tion to avoid slashing 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: Before cleaning the battery, tape or
block vent holes to the filler caps and make sure the
caps are on tightly.
C. Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top
ofthe battery which mightindicate aloose ormissing
filler cap, overcharging, loose terminal post, or over-
filling. Also, check battery case for dirt and oil. Clean
the battery with a solution of baking soda and water,
then rinse it with clean water.

utes to allow sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.

2. Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte.
Removal
IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is
clean before opening the battery caps.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage terminal
posts or cable connectors when removing the bat-
tery cables.
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
temperature of the cell.
1.
Open engine hood. Loosen battery retainer securing
the battery to the frame.
2.
cable from battery. This should prevent short circuiting
the battery, other components, or the operators hands.
Loosen nut on ground cable (-) post first and remove
B. Temperature correct each cell reading. For each
10
_F (5.5_C) above 80_F (26.7_C) add 0.004 to the
specific gravity reading. For each 10_F (5.5_C) be-
low 80_F (26.7_C) subtract 0.004 from the specific
gravity reading.

_F multiply by 0.004/10_F equals 0.008
_C multiply by 0.004/5.5_C equals 0.008)
Remove battery from the battery compartment to a
