Always keep electrolyte level above the splash
plate, but avoid over-filling.
When adding water, it is necessary to visually
gauge when to stop. Keep the top level of the
electrolyte no less than approximately 0.38 in
(10 mm) below bottom of filling hole as shown in
the sketch. All the cells of a battery should require
about the same amount of water.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
NOTE: Maximum total allowable battery weight is
5,300 lb (2405 kg) with two identical batteries.
Each battery is enclosed in a steel case provided
with a special hinged cover and lifting holes
located near the top of the case. See
SPECIFICATIONS
section.
BATTERY CHARGING
The machine batteries are specially made for this
machine application. They are unique in that they
hold their power for long periods of time, but they
can only be recharged a certain number of times.
To get the most life from the batteries, charge
them when 25% of the battery power is left.
Do not expose the battery charger to water. Do
not touch uninsulated battery terminals or
unnecessarily expose any portion of your body to
the batteries when making electrical connections.
