Servicing the Battery

Check the electrolyte level in the battery every 100 hours.
Always keep the battery clean and fully charged. Use a
paper towel to clean the battery case. If the battery
terminals are corroded, clean them with a solution of four
parts water and one part baking soda. Apply a light
coating of grease to the battery terminals to reduce
corrosion.
Checking the Electrolyte Level
1. Raise the loader arms and install the cylinder locks;
refer to Using the Cylinder Locks, page 20.
2. Stop the engine and remove the key.
3. Remove the hood, refer to Removing the Hood,
page 25.
4. Look at the side of the battery. The electrolyte must be
up to the Upper line (Fig. 4). Do not allow the
electrolyte to fall below the Lower line (Fig. 4).
5. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount of
distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the Battery,
page 28.
