WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in
personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable
before connecting the negative (black) cable.
Storing the Battery
If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove the
battery and charge it fully. Either store it on a shelf or on
the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if it is stored on
the machine. Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid
quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To prevent
the battery from freezing, make sure it is fully charged. The
specific gravity of a fully charged battery is 1.265-1.299.
Checking the Fuses
The fuses are located under the control panel. Access them
through the side panel cover (Figure 49). To open the side
panel cover, release the 2 latches and pull out on it.
If the machine stops or has other electrical system issues,
check the fuses. Grasp each fuse in turn and remove them
one at a time, checking to see if any are blown. If you need
to replace a fuse, always use the same type and amperage
rated fuse as the one you are replacing, otherwise you could
damage the electrical system (refer to the decal next to the
fuses (Figure 50) for a diagram of each fuse and its amperage).
Note: If a fuse blows frequently, you probably have a short
in the electrical system and should have it serviced by a
qualified service technician.
