General Maintenance
BATTERY
Performing proper battery maintenance at the required intervals
will allow for proper starting of the Generator during a power
outage. Some common things to look for and check during
maintenance are:
•Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness and
corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.
•Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries and, if nec-
essary, fill with Distilled Water only. Do not use tap water in
batteries.
•Have the state of charge and conditions checked. This should
be done with an automotive-type battery hydrometer.
Note: See Test 56 for further testing the state of a battery.
