Battery Service
CAUTION
Important Battery Service, Installation, and
Charging Tips:
● Do not allow the battery cables to touch
opposing terminals. When connecting
battery cables attach the positive (+)
cable to positive (+) battery terminal
rst, followed by negative (-) cable to
negative (-) battery terminal.
● Never start the engine when the cables
are loose or poorly connected to the
battery terminals.
● Never disconnect battery while engine
is running.
● Never use a quick battery charger to
start the engine.
NOTE: Disregard the following instructions to ser-
vice the battery with electrolyte if equipped with a
sealed, maintenance-free battery.
Check the battery for electrolyte level and charge.
The electrolyte level should be at the bottom of the
vent wells [1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above plates].
If the specic gravity is less than 1.225, the battery
needs charging. If the battery has been shipped dry,
or is wet but needs service, refer to the following
instructions.
IMPORTANT: Make sure battery is securely mount-
ed in the frame. A loose battery may cause damage
to the case resulting in acid leakage and severe
damage to the machine. A hazard may be created
by damage to critical working parts and safety sys-
tems.
Wet Battery Service
If the battery has been shipped wet, but the electro-
lyte level is low or the battery needs to be charged
then:
1. Fill each battery cell with distilled water to the
bottom of the vent wells.
2. Charge battery. Refer to Battery Charging in
this section.
Dry Battery Service
DANGER

work. The following activation and charg-
ing instructions are provided for use by a
trained battery technician.
DANGER
Battery electrolyte is a poisonous and cor-
rosive sulfuric acid solution.
● Avoid spillage and contact with skin,
eyes, and clothing - causes severe
burns.
● To prevent accidents, wear safety gog-
gles and rubber gloves when working
with electrolyte.
● Neutralize acid spills with baking soda
and water solution.
