WARNING
!!
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame,
and smoking material away from batteries.
Always wear safety glasses when working near
batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away
any spilled fluid with clean water.
Always replace batteries with UpRight batteries or
manufacturer approved replacements weighing 26,3 kg
(58 lbs.) each.
•Check the battery fluid level daily, especially if the machine is being used in a warm, dry climate.
•If electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (3/8in.) above the plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use
tap water with high mineral content, as it will shorten battery life.
•Inspect the battery regularly for signs of cracks in the case, electrolyte leakage and corrosion of the
terminals.
•Inspect cables regularly for worn spots or breaks in the insulation and for broken cable terminals.
•Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.
•Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and for complete service instructions.
