Inspection of Battery Electrolyte Level
This machine has two maintenance free batteries. They never
require the addition to water.
When the charge indicator becomes white, this indicates a low
electrolyte state because of a leakage or charging system error.
Determine the cause of problem and replace the batteries
immediately.
Check Charging State
Check charging state through the charging indicator.
•
GREEN: Sufficiently charged.
•
BLACK: Insufficient charged.
•
WHITE: Replace battery.
Check Battery Terminals
Be certain that battery is held securely in its compartment. Clean
the battery terminals and the battery cable connectors. A
solution of baking soda and water will neutralize acid on the
battery surface, terminals, and cable connectors. Petroleum jelly
or grease can be applied to the connectors to help prevent
corrosion.
Battery Replacement
When the charging indicator shows a white condition, replace
the battery. The batteries should always be replaced in pairs.
Using an old battery with a new one will shorten the life span of
the new battery.
