Battery Cable Connection
Check the battery cable connections for looseness or corrosion.
The loosened cable connection will result in hard engine
starting or insufficient battery charge.
The battery cables must be tightened securely.
Never reverse “+” and “Y
terminals when reconnecting cables
after disconnection.
Even a short period of reverse connection will damage the
electrical parts.
(6) Battery Electrolyte Level
The amount of electrolyte in the batteries will be reduced after
repeated discharge and recharge.
Check the electrolyte for the level in the batteries, replenish with
a commercially available electrolyte such as distilled water, if
necessary.
The battery electrolyte level checking procedure will vary with
battery type. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTICE:
Do not replenish with dilute sulfuric acid in the daily
service.
