chemicals known to the State of California

Maintaining the Battery

Service Interval: Every 25 hours
The level of the battery electrolyte must be properly
maintained and the top of the battery kept clean. If the
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will run down more rapidly than
if the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are
cool.
DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear
safety glasses to shield your eyes and rubber
gloves to protect your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or baking-soda solution.
Flush the top surface with water after cleaning. Do not
remove the fill cap while cleaning.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
machine and cables, causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in
personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable
before connecting the negative (black) cable.
If corrosion occurs at the battery terminals, disconnect the
cables, negative (-) cable first, and scrape the clamps and
terminals separately. Connect the cables, positive (+) cable
first, and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
•
Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours, or if
the machine is in storage, every 30 days.
•
Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill the cells above the fill line.
