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 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
of the battery which might indicate a loose or missing
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.

Removal and Installation (Fig. 29)
1.
Loosen and remove negative cable from battery. Af-
ter negative cable is removed, loosen and remove posi-
tive cable.
D. Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Re-
place the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
2.
bracket away from battery.
Loosen flange nuts that secure battery bracket. Slide
E. Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the level
is below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all cells
with distilled water between the minimum and max-
imum fill lines. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15 min-
utes to allow sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.

4.
Carefully remove battery from machine.
Install battery in reverse order making sure to con-
nect positive cable to battery before connecting nega-
tive cable.
2.
Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is
clean before opening the battery caps.
NOTE: Before connecting the negative (ground) cable,
connect a digital multimeter (set to amps) between the
negative battery post and the negative (ground) cable
connector. The reading should be less than 0.1 amp. If
the reading is 0.1 amp or more, the unit’s electrical sys-
tem should be tested and repaired.
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.
Inspection, Maintenance, and Testing
1.
Perform following inspections and maintenance:
A. Check for cracks. Replace battery if cracked or
leaking.
B. Check battery terminal posts for corrosion. Use
wire brush to clean corrosion from posts.
