2. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount of
distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the Battery
in Maintenance.
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. Remove the battery from the machine; refer to
Removing the Battery in Maintenance.
Important: Never fill the battery with distilled
water while the battery is installed in the
machine. Electrolyte could be spilled on other
parts and cause corrosion.
2. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
3. Remove the vent caps from the battery (Figure 50).
4. Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell
until the electrolyte level is up to the Upper line
(Figure 50) on the battery case.
Important: Do not overfill the battery because
electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause severe
corrosion and damage to the chassis.
5. Wait five to ten minutes after filling the battery cells.
Add distilled water, if necessary, until the electrolyte
level is up to the Upper line (Figure 50) on the
battery case.
6. Reinstall the battery vent caps.
Charging the Battery
Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks
and flames away from battery.

3. Lower line
Important: Always keep the battery fully charged
(1.265 specific gravity). This is especially important
to prevent battery damage when the temperature is
below 32°F (0°C).
1. Remove the battery from the chassis; refer to
Removing the Battery.
2. Check the electrolyte level; refer to Checking the
Electrolyte Level.
3. Make sure the filler caps are installed in battery.
Charge battery for 1 hour at 25 to 30 amps or 6
hours at 4 to 6 amps.
4. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger
from the electrical outlet, then disconnect the
charger leads from the battery posts (Figure 51).
5. Install the battery onto the machine and connect the
battery cables, refer to Installing the Battery.
Note: Do not run the machine with the battery
disconnected, electrical damage may occur.

Servicing the Fuses

The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires
no maintenance. If a fuse blows, check the component
or circuit for a malfunction or short.
1. Remove the cushion from the rear of the machine.
2. Pull out on the fuse to remove or replace it
(Figure 52).
3. Install the cover under the cusion.
Note: Ensure the correct size fuse is install with the
correct wire color as shown in Figure 52.
