Checking Battery Specific Gravity

Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific gravity.
Checking Gravity
A. Hydrometer
B. Battery
NOTE: Do not take readings immediately after adding
distilled water, if the water and acid are not
thoroughly mixed, the reading may not be accurate.
Check the hydrometer readings against this chart.

NOTE: If the readings are taken when the battery
electrolyte is any temperature other than 80
(27 ° C), the reading must be temperature corrected.

Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire
can result. Keep sparks and open flame away.
Keep covers open when charging.
Les batteries émettent du gaz hydrogène. Une
explosion ou un incendie peut en résulter.
Maintenez les étincelles et les flammes nues à
l'écart. Gardez les carters ouverts lors du charge-
ment.
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
working with batteries.
Portez des lunettes de protection et des vêtements
de protection lorsque vous travaillez avec des
batteries.
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area. Leave
the battery cover open.
Chargez les batteries dans un endroit bien ventilé
Use a 24 volt, 18 amp maximum output or 25 amp
(depending on the size of the batteries), DC charger
which will automatically shut off when the batteries are
fully charged.
1. Stop the machine in a clean, well ventilated area
next to the charger.
2. Turn "OFF" machine.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3. Raise the battery cover.
