SEC. 6 BATTERY INSTALLATION
CAUTION: CHARGED BATTERIES: REVIEW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS OF SECTION 1-3.
REMOVE RINGS, WATCHES, AND METALLIC OBJECTS FROM POCKETS. WEAR
SAFETY GLASSES.
NOTE: This procedure assumes that the battery has been precharged and electrolyte level adjusted
prior to the AMX- installation. If the battery requires charging it should be done following
the procedure of Chapter 3, Section 6.
1. Unpack the battery cell groups from their trans- REAR WALL
port containers and set in front of the AMX unit.
If Vent Cap Wrench is furnished with each cell
group, save the wrenches as they will be required
for servicing the battery.
2. Asshipped, each cell may have a yellow plastic
cap inserted in the top of the Vent Cap assembly.
Replace all the yellow caps with the red spray
caps furnished in a bag with the battery. The
red caps have three small holes for venting. Yel-
low caps are for shipping only.
3. Check that the Main Power Circuit Breaker on
the AMX, (6CV1) is OFF. Locate the two No. 6
Awg x 6" (152.4 mm) black leads in Bag No. 5, BOTTOM 21991-D10
and the four 46-154021P1 7-3/4" x 16-3/4" RIGHT SIDE
(220 mm x 413 mm) red insulator boards fur-
nished with the AMX. ILLUSTRATION 4-11-14
4. Fold back the mylar cover over the battery com-
partnent. Check that the loose insulating boards
are correctly positioned in the battery compart-
ment, and that the primary leads are clear of the ADDED PROTECTIVE
compartment. BARRIER

5. Cut six (6) 1-1/2” x 3” (38.1 mm x 76.2 mm)
strips of insulation paper. Bend in half and
wedge between the first and second as well as
last and second last cell in each group, as shown
in Illustration 4-11-15. This will prevent damage
to battery if a washer or screw slips on connection
of battery leads.
