DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS - ELECTRICA L POWE R SYSTEM
3. If the level of the electrolyte is low, add distilled
water or other cle an water until the electrolyte is 5
mm (1/4 inch) below the level of the ring. Do not
add more water than is needed. Too much water
can cause bad performance, a short service life,
and corrosion around the battery.
NOTE: Add water only. DO NOT add electrolyte.
4. If damage causes an electrolyte leak, replace the
battery.
5. Inspect the battery at regular interva ls for dirt,
corrosion, and damage. Electrolyte and dirt on the
top of the ba
ttery can cause the battery to discharge
by making a passage for the current to flow.
6. If the battery must be cleaned, remove the battery
from the battery carrier and clean the batte ry, cable
terminals, and the battery carrier. When available,
use Case Battery Saver and Cleaner according
to the instructions on the container. C ase Battery
Saver and Cleaner also helps prevent corrosion. If
Case Battery Saver and Cleaner is not available,
use baking soda and water as a cleaner. DO NOT
permit any type of cleaner to enter the cells of the
battery.
7. Install the battery in the machine and make sure
the fasteners are tight. Apply Case Battery Saver
and Cleaner or Urethane Seal Coat to the cable
terminals to prevent corrosion. See the Parts
Counter Catalog. DO NOT apply grease.
8. Make sure the cable connections are clean and
tight. Clean foreign material from the top of the
battery.
9. Insp
ect the battery case, battery posts, and cables
for damage.
10. Chec k the e le ctrolyte level.
11. If you added water to the battery, the battery must
be charged for 15 minutes at 15 to 25 amperes to
mix the water with the electrolyte.
