Battery Installation
FOR SAFETY: When servicing batteries,
wear appropriate personal protection
equipment as needed. Avoid contact with
battery acid.
Turn off all switches. Disconnect battery pack from
the machine.
Remove the rear panel.
There are two nuts (one in each corner) on top of
the rear panel inside the battery compartment and
three screws at the outside bottom of the cover.
Tip the cover back and then lift up on an angle.
Batteries are heavy – ALWAYS use two people to
install batteries into machine.
Refer to wiring diagram located on the underside of
the seat plate. Align batteries in compartment the
same as the old batteries or as shown on diagram.
Install battery cables the same as they were on the
old batteries or as shown on wiring diagram.
NSS recommends replacing the battery cables
when replacing batteries.
Tighten bolts and hex nuts with a wrench.
Install terminal boots over terminals to complete
installation.
CAUTION: Do not short across two terminals
with a wrench.
CAUTION: Loose or improper battery
connections will cause battery or machine
damage and possible personal injury.
Battery charger
The battery charger supplied with this machine is
capable of charging lead acid batteries from 350 to
435 ah capacity.
Your machine may have been ordered with batteries
installed at the NSS factory. The standard battery
type, normally supplied by NSS, is the Flooded (wet)
cell lead acid battery. AGM sealed batteries may also
be available at customer request.
Flooded (wet) batteries can be easily identified by the
removable cell caps. Removing the caps allows
inspection of the liquid electrolyte (sulfuric acid) level
in each cell.
AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are sealed,
maintenance free batteries. They do not have cell
caps intended for removal. Look for “AGM” printed
on the tops or sides of the batteries.
Gel (gelled electrolyte) batteries are not
recommended for use with this machine.
