Removal and Installation
Warning! Before removing or reinstalling any machine components, make sure the key switch
is off and the key is removed from the machine.
To Install the Batteries
Warning!
• Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe
injury if allowed to contact the skin or eyes.
• Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from the batteries through openings in the battery caps.
This gas can be ignited by any spark, flame or electrical arc. Do not install any lead-acid
battery in a sealed container or enclosure. Hydrogen gas from overcharging must be allowed
to escape.
Caution!
• Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not
installed and connected correctly.
• The batteries must be installed only by an Advance representative or dealer, a qualified
electrician or the battery manufacturer.
1. Remove the batteries from their shipping crate and carefully inspect them for cracks or other damage. If
damage is evident, contact the carrier that delivered them, or the battery manufacturer, to file a damage
claim.
2. Turn the key switch off and remove the key.
3. Remove the recovery tank from the machine. (Refer to the
Recovery System/Removal and Installation/
Recovery Tank
section.)
4. Your machine comes from the factory
with enough battery cables to install
six 6-volt batteries. Using at least
two people and an appropriate lifting
strap, carefully lift the batteries into
the battery compartment and arrange
them exactly as shown. Secure the
batteries as close to the front of the
machine as possible. If installing a
monoblock battery, use an overhead
hoist.
5. Install the battery cables as shown.
Position the cables so the battery caps
can be removed easily for battery
service.
