EVERY 250 HOURS MAINTENANCE

METHOD FOR CHECKING BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

Perform this procedure before operating the machine.
Inspect the battery electrolyte level at least once a month.
Do not use or charge the battery if the optical charge indicator is bright white or, if the battery does
not have the optical indicator, if the electrolyte level is below the LOWER line (minimum level) . This
may cause an explosion.
The battery generates flammable gas and there is a danger of explosion. Do not expose the battery
to naked flames.
Electrolyte is hazardous. In case of contact with the eyes or the skin, wash with plenty of running
water and consult a doctor.
NOTICE
Do not add distilled water to the battery exceeding UPPER LEVEL line. If the electrolyte level is too
high, it may leak and cause damage to the paint surface or corrode other parts.
When adding purified water in cold weather, add it before starting operations in the next morning to
prevent the purified water from freezing.
Install the rubber cover to prevent a fire while taking care not to roll it up.
If the rubber cover rolls up and blocks the fuel cooler, the fuel cooler may overheat. Put the rubber
cover under the fuel cooler.
