Servicing the battery
Maintain a clean battery cable connection at both the
•
positive and negative posts. Seal the joints with special
sealant for electrical connections. Dirt and moisture can
cause a trickle loss of electricity when the wheel loader
is not in operation.
Check the acid level of the battery on a weekly basis.•
Add distilled water to the battery manufacturer’s speci-•
ed level if the level is low.
A cover is provided to insulate the positive pole from
•
inadvertent contact with the frame of the loader or from
a dropped metallic object. Always conrm that the cov-
er is in place and serviceable. Replace if damaged or
cracked.
