GENERAL WATERING INSTRUCTIONS
• Add water, never acid, to cells (distilled water recommended).
• DO NOT OVER WATER.
• For fully charged standard deep-cycle batteries, add water
to the level of 1/8 below bottom of vent well (see diagram A
below).
• For fully charged Plus Series batteries, add water to the
maximum water level indicator (see diagram B below).
• If the batteries are diskharged, only add water if the plates
are exposed. Add just enough water to cover the plates, then
charge the batteries. Once fully charged, add water to the
proper level indicated above.
• After watering, secure vent caps on batteries.
The wet battery protection system tells the operator when to water
the batteries. This system has a sensor that’s inserted into the
machine’s batteries with a light to tell the operator when to fill the
batteries. The scrubbing functions will be disabled until watering is
completed. See below watering instructions with watering system.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm,
and during charging, strong inorganic acid mists containing
sulfuric acid are evolved, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer.
WATERING THE BATTERIES
1. Use distilled water for filling the
batteries. Place the distilled water
jug below the top of the batteries to
prevent siphoning. Insert the open
end of the bulb pump into the jug of
distilled water and prime the pump
bulb by squeezing it until it is filled
with water.
2. Attach the other end of the hose to the
quick connect already on the batteries.
3. Squeeze the bulb to pump water
into the battery cells. When the bulb
becomes firm, all cells are full.
Note: Battery packs equipped with Fortify™ Wet Battery
Protection may use more distilled water than expected to
make the light turn off. Compress the bulb pump until is no
longer compresses. Not doing so may result in uneven filling
and premature battery failure.
4. Immediately disconnect the couplers
and replace the cap.
Note: Do not leave the pump and hose
connected to the batteries after filling
is complete.

MAINTAINING THE BATTERIES
Batteries can attract dust, dirt, and grime. Keeping them clean will
help spot signs of trouble when they appear and avoid problems
associated with grime.
1. Check that all vent caps are tightly in place.
2. Clean the battery top with a cloth or brush and a solution of
baking soda and water.
• When cleaning, do not allow any cleaning solution or other
foreign matter to get inside the battery.
3. Rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.
4. Clean battery terminals and the inside of cable clamps using a
post and clamp cleaner.
• Clean terminals will have a bright metallic shine.
5. Reconnect the clamps to the terminals and thinly coat them
with an anti-corrosive spray or silicone gel.
6. Keep the area around batteries clean and dry.
