NOTICE: For type and concentration of
antifreeze, consult your Cat lift
truck dealer.
– After distilled water has been added to
the battery, run the engine for a while.
This mixes the added water with the
electrolyte and will reduce the risk of
freezing and damaging the battery.
– DO NOT attempt to restore a battery’s
charge by pouring boiling water over it.
This can break the battery case, result-
ing in acid contact with skin or eyes.
– Antifreeze used in the engine cooling sys-
tem of a new lift truck shipped from the
factory provides sufficient freeze protec-
tion to -30°C (-22°F).
– If ambient temperatures are below -30°C
(-22°F), add antifreeze.
– Maintain the specific gravity of electrolyte
from 1.26 to 1.28 as corrected to 20°C
(68°F).
– When you park your truck overnight, leav-
ing it outside a garage, remove the battery
and keep it warm.
– The electrolyte of a fully charged battery
will not freeze to -35°C (-31°F).
