Battery Service
The battery is the heart of the electrical system. With
regular and proper service, battery life can be extended.
Additionally, battery and electrical component failure
can be prevented.
CAUTION
When working with batteries, use extreme cau-
tion to avoid splashing or spilling electrolyte.
Electrolyte can destroy clothing and burn skin or
eyes. Always wear safety goggles and a face
shield when working with batteries.
CAUTION
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal machine components, causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gases to
explode, resulting in personal injury.
 When removing or installing the battery, do
not allow the battery terminals to touch any
metal parts of the machine.
 Do not allow metal tools t o short between the
battery t erminals and metal parts of the
machine.
