Batteries
h
DANGER:
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and
.. cigarettes away. Ventilate when charging or using in enclosed space.
Always shield eyes when working near batteries. D-38-14
After charging batteries to near full charge, remove them from machine
and store in a dry, moderately cool place. Place batteries on a wood pallet or
similar insulating material and, if possible, store them in a building where
temperatures remain above freezing (32
0
F,0
0
C). Periodically check batteries
for proper electrolyte level and test electrolyte with a hydrometer. When hy-
drometer readings near 1.200, the battery is close to complete discharge.
When necessary,recharge batteries to keep readings well above 1.200so that
the electrolyte will not freeze.
Equipment Hydraulic System
1. Placewood planking on the ground and lower the loader bucket on it.
2. After engine has stopped, move bucket control levers through several
cycles to relieve pressure in hydraulic system.
3. Coat the hydraulic cylinder rods with special Case rust and corrision
preventative.
4. Open the drain-cock on the bottom of the air reservoir to drain out water
and sediment and relieve the air pressure in the tank. When reservoir is
completely depressurized, the air pressuregauge reading should be zero.
5. Loosen the dipstick SLOWLY at the top of the hydraulic reservoir and
relieve air pressure in the tank.
