WARNING: DO NOT USE PETROL, TRICHLOROETHYLENE OR OTHER SOLVENTS.
- Before you put the vented filler caps back into the cells, make sure
that they operate correctly. Do these steps:
- Install the vented filler cap with its O-ring (340A) on the end of a
metal tube that has a correct end-piece.
- Connect this tube to a supply of compressed air through a vented
filler cap of the adjustable reducing type.
- Adjust the pressure to 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) and put the vented filler
cap into a container of water. Air bubbles come out if the vented
filler cap is in good condition. If there are no bubbles, increase
the pressure until you see bubbles. Then decrease the pressure
slowly to 0.1 bar (1.45 psi) and monitor the pressure at which the
air flow stops.
- Reject all vented filler caps that have an operating pressure of more
than 0.7 bar (10 psi) (after the check done before to make sure that
the related cap operates correctly) or less than 0.14 bar (2 psi).
- Install the vented filler caps (Refer to "ASSEMBLY").
3. Lubrication
When the battery is clean (and after installation of the vented filler
caps), put a thin layer of neutral petrolatum (petrolatum that is not
acid) or light oil on the terminals and the links. Use a paintbrush.
