9.3 CAUTIONS IN CHARGING BATTERY
When charging the battery mounted to the machine
• Abnormal voltage may be applied to the alternator, resulting in a breakage. Disconnect the
battery terminal wires before charging the battery.
• While charging, remove all the fluid plugs to release the gas generated.
• Stop charging when the battery becomes overheated (fluid temperature exceeded 45°C).
• Stop charging promptly once the charging is completed.
Continuing to charge after reaching the fully charged state will cause;
(1) Overheating of battery
(2) Decrease in the battery fluid
(3) Failures in battery
• When connecting battery cables, do not reverse the polarity [(+) terminal and (-) terminal].
Doing so can cause damage to the alternator.
• Remove the battery cable when handling the battery other than for battery electrolyte level
check and specific gravity measurement.
