Checking Battery Specific Gravity
Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific 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.

To Charge The Batteries

When servicing machine, avoid contact with
battery acid.
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can
result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep
covers open when charging.
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
working with batteries.
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area.
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.
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can
result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep
covers open when charging.
4. Check the electrolyte level in each battery
cell.Before charging, add just enough distilled
°
F
water to cover the plates. After charging is
complete, add just enough distilled water to bring
up the level to the indicator ring. If the water level is
too high before charging, normal expansion rate of
the electrolyte may cause an overflow. Resulting in
a loss of battery acid balance and damage the
machine.
