DANGER

g015274
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
The battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained
and the top of the battery kept clean. If the machine is
stored in a location where temperatures are extremely
high, the battery will run down more rapidly than if the
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are
cool.
Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours or,
if machine is in storage, every 30 days.
Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill the cells above the bottom of the split
ring inside each cell.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it
periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or
bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top surface with
water after cleaning. Do not remove the fill caps while
cleaning.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to
provide good electrical contact.
