Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become familiar with this vehicle. Pay attention to all NOTICES, CAUTIONS,WARNINGS and DANGERS.
Battery Replacement
Remove battery hold downs and cables. Lift out batteries
with a commercially available lifting device.
If the batteries have been cleaned and any acid in the
battery rack area neutralized as recommended, no corro-
sion to the battery racks or surrounding area should be
present. Any corrosion found should be immediately
removed with a putty knife and a wire brush. The area
should be washed with a solution of sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) and water and thoroughly dried before
priming and painting with a corrosion resistant paint.
The batteries should be placed into the battery racks and
the battery hold downs tightened to 45 - 55 in. lbs. (5 - 6
Nm) torque, to prevent movement but not tight enough to
cause distortion of the battery cases.
Inspect all wires and terminals. Clean any corrosion from
the battery terminals or the wire terminals with a solution
of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and brush clean if
required.
To prevent battery explosion that could
result in severe personal injury or death,
extreme care must be used with aerosol
containers of battery terminal protectant.
Insulate the metal container to prevent the
metal can from contacting battery terminals
which could result in an explosion.
Use care to connect the battery wires as shown (Ref Fig.
19). Tighten the battery post hardware to 50 - 70 in. lbs.
(6 - 8 Nm) torque
.
Protect the battery terminals and bat-
tery wire terminals with a commercially available protec-
tive coating.
Prolonged Storage
Battery charger and controller must be disconnected
since they will contribute to the premature discharge
of batteries. Other electronic devices may need to be
disconnected.
During periods of storage, the batteries will need atten-
tion to keep them maintained and prevent discharge.
