LeeBoy L600 - Dielectric Grease

Dirty or loose battery connections can
create high electrical resistance and permit arcing.
To clean the battery:
• Remove any corrosion around terminal connections
and clean with ammonia or a solution of 1/4 lb. (.11 kg)
baking soda in one quart of warm water.
• Ensure vent caps are tight to prevent solution from
entering the cells.
• Ensure the battery terminals and posts are clean and
the battery cable terminals are tight.
If charging the battery:
When connecting a booster battery, connect one end
of the rst jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of
the dead battery, and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery. Connect one end of the
second jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery and the other end to the frame of the
distributor with the dead battery.
Fire and Explosion Hazard! Be sure
the battery charger is in the OFF position before
connecting it to the battery.
NOTE: Reversed polarity can damage the electrical
system. It is advisable to disconnect the
negative (-) cable rst and connect it last.
NOTE: When replacing the battery, discard the old
battery properly.
Dielectric GreaseDielectric Grease
Dielectric grease is a nonconductive, insulating
compound applied to electrical connectors. When
applied correctly, a high-quality dielectric grease
displaces debris and moisture in the connector. The
proper application of dielectric grease lls any gaps
between pins or in the connector which prevents debris
and moisture from creating corrosion of the electrical
components.
Equipment damage can occur if using
low-quality, incompatible dielectric grease.
If not applied or incorrectly applied, corrosion can result
that causes rapid increase in resistance, intermittent
connections, overheating, and a variety of electrical
problems. Numerous electrical issues throughout the
machine can be avoided by the proper application and
use of dielectric grease.
