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.

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.
Removal
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 battery case for dirt and oil.
Clean the battery with a solution of baking soda and
water, then rinse it with clean water.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage terminal
posts or cable connectors when removing the bat-
tery cables.

Replace the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
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 between the minimum and
maximum fill lines. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15
minutes to allow sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is
clean before opening the battery caps.
Inspection, Maintenance, and Testing (Fig. 27)
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.

A. Check for cracks caused by overly tight hold−
down clamp. Replace battery if cracked and leak-
ing.
