Battery Care
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly main-
tained. The top of the battery must be kept clean. lf the
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will discharge more rapidly
thanifthemachineisstoredin alocationwheretemper-
atures are cool.
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when
workingwithelectrolyte.Charge batteryinawell
ventilatedplace so gases produced while charg-
ing can dissipate. Since these gases are explo-
sive, keep open flames and electrical sparks
away from the battery; do not smoke. Nausea
may result if the gases are inhaled. Unplugchar-
ger from electrical outlet before connecting or
disconnecting charger leads to or from battery
posts.
