HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION

How To Install The Batteries

This machine uses three 12-volt batteries. The batteries are
located in the battery compartment under the battery cover.
WARNING: Lifting batteries without help could
result in an injury. Get help to lift the
batteries. The batteries are heavy.
WARNING: Working with batteries can be
dangerous. Always wear eye
protection and protective clothing
when working near batteries. NO
SMOKING!
To Install the batteries, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure the key switch is in the OFF position (O).
2. Carefully lift the batteries into the battery tray.
Arrange as shown in figure 5.
3. Install the battery cables as shown in figure 5, with the
terminals marked "P" on the positive battery posts and
the terminals marked "N" on the negative batter posts.
Position the cables so that the caps can be easily
removed when it is necessary to add water to the
batteries.
4. Tighten the nut on each battery terminal just enough
to keep the terminal from being turned on the battery
post. Then tighten the nut one more full turn.
5. Coat all the terminals and posts with grease, petro-
leum jelly or spray on battery coating (available in
most auto parts stores).
6. Put on the black rubber "boots" over each of the
terminals and use the plastic tie straps to hold them in
place.
7. Join the connector from the battery pack to the
connector on the control panel.
8. Reassemble machine.
NOTE: Charge the batteries before using the machine.

out adequate ventilation could result

sion, charge the batteries only in an
