Battery

Check the electrolyte level in the battery every 25
hours. Always keep the battery clean and fully
charged. Use a paper towel to clean the battery case.
If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with
a solution of four parts water and one part baking
soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery
terminals to prevent corrosion.
Voltage: 12 v
Checking Electrolyte Level
1. Open covers to see into the cells. The electrolyte
must be up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 47). Do not allow the electrolyte to get
below the plates. (Fig. 47).
2. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount
of distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the
Battery, below.

Adding Water to the Battery
The best time to add distilled water to the battery is
just before you operate the machine. This lets the
water mix thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
2. Lift off the filler caps (Fig. 47).
3. Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell
until the level is up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 47).
