BATTERY WATERING SYSTEM
(Trojan
®
Battery OPTION)
The following instructions are for models equipped with
the HydroLink battery watering system option.
The optional HydroLink battery watering system
provides a safe and easy way to maintain the proper
electrolyte levels in your batteries. It is designed
exclusively for Trojan flooded (wet) lead-acid batteries.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, wear
personal protection equipment as needed. Avoid
contact with battery acid.
Before using the battery watering system check hoses
and connections for damage or wear.
1. Fully charge batteries prior to using the battery
watering system. Do not add water to batteries
before charging, the electrolyte level will expand
and may overflow when charging.
2. After charging batteries, check the battery
electrolyte level indicators located on the battery
covers (Figure 71). If the level indicator is white
add water as described in the following
instructions. If the level indicators are black the
electrolyte is at the correct level, no water is
required.
