SECTION 8 - CONTROL COMPONENTS
DO NOT REPLACE ITEMS CRITICAL TO STABILITY, SUCH AS
BATTERIES, WITH ITEMS OF DIFFERENT WEIGHT OR SPECIFI-
CATION. DO NOT MODIFY UNIT IN ANY WAY TO AFFECT STABIL-
ITY.
Electrolyte Level:
Check the electrolyte level of the batteries often and add
only distilled water when required:
1. Open access door to the battery compartment.
2. Check proper electrolyte level after charge using the
floats (1) in the center of each cell filling cap.
3. Fill the can (2) with distilled water.
4. Depress and hold the push button (3) to activate the
filling pump. Release the button when the flow indi-
cator (4) slows down.
5. Check for proper level in each cell (float on each
cell's cap). Actuate the filling pump again if some
cells show improper level.
