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
2
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.

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.

D. Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Re-
place the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
Removal and Installation (Fig. 37)
See Operator’s Manual for battery removal and installa-
tion information.
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.
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 0 amps. If the reading
is 0.1 amp or more, the unit’s electrical system should
be tested and repaired.
2.
Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is
clean before opening the battery caps.
Inspection, Maintenance, and Testing
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.
1.
Perform following inspections and maintenance:
A. Replace battery if cracked or leaking.
B. Check battery terminal posts for corrosion. Use
wire brush to clean corrosion from posts.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, tape
or block vent holes to the filler caps and make
sure the caps are on tightly.
