Charging
3. 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 overfilling.
When the vehicle is not in use, it is recommended to
keep the batteries charged by connecting the battery
charger that is included with the vehicle. The Workman
e2050/e2065 charger is designed to automatically
charge the batteries fully without overcharging. Indica-
tor lights (green and red) and an ammeter on the char-
ger give information about the charging operation.
4. Check the battery case for dirt and oil. Clean the bat-
tery with a solution of baking soda and water, then rinse
battery with clean water.
5.
Replace the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
Check that the battery cover seal is not broken away.
Make sure to have the battery cell plates covered with
electrolyte before charging the batteries (Fig. 46). Peri-
odically (at least every 50 operating hours) check elec-
trolyte level in the batteries and add distilled water to
ensure proper charging and the best battery perfor-
mance and life.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the battery
filler caps is clean before opening the caps.
IMPORTANT: Do not add acid to the battery. Use
only distilled water to adjust the electrolyte level.
6.
Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the level is
Colder temperatures will increase the time needed to
fully charge the batteries. NEVER attempt to charge fro-
zen batteries. Also, if temperatures below freezing are
expected, do not add water to battery after charging as
added water could freeze and damage battery.
below the tops of the plates in any cell, add just enough
distilled water to the cell to cover the plates. Replace
filler caps and charge the battery (see Operator’s Manu-
al). After charging, check electrolyte level in all cells and
add distilled water until the level is 1/8” (3 mm) below
the bottom of the fill well (Fig. 46).
For additional battery charging information, see your
Operator’s Manual and the Battery Charger Operating
Instructions.
