SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
BATTERIES
SERVICE ACCESS–
The batteries are located at the rear of the ma-
chine behind the battery service access panel. (fig. 7.1E-1)
CLEANING–
Disconnect the battery cables from the batteries. Remove
all corrosion with a wire brush or battery post brush. Wash the cable connec-
tions and battery posts with a weak solution of baking soda or ammonia. Ap-
ply dielectric or grease to prevent further corrosion. Reconnect the cables to
the batteries making sure that they are tight. Clean every 100 hours.
CHARGING–
To ease charging of the batteries, there is a set of auxil-
iary battery charging posts on the rear of the sprayer’s mainframe (fig. 7.1E-
2). Connect your charging cables to them just as you would to the battery,
positive cable to positive terminal, and negative cable to negative terminal.
Keep these terminals clean and their caps in place when not in use.
FIG 7.1E-1
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes, or clothing. Do not inhale fumes or ingest liquid.
Batteries contain gases which can explode. Keep
sparks and flame away while servicing.
NOTE:
When servicing the electrical system
always disconnect the batteries. Remove
the ground cable first and connect it last.
NOTE:
To ensure the best electrical contact, battery terminal
connections should be as clean and as tight as possible.
Install replacement batteries with
ratings equivalent to the specs below.
