Service Interval: Every 50 hours—Check the battery-fluid
level (every 30 days if in storage).
Every 50 hours—Check the battery-cable connections.
WARNING
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
•
Keep the battery-electrolyte level properly maintained.
•
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda
solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning.
Do not remove the fill cap while cleaning.
•
Ensure that the battery cables are kept tight on the
terminals to provide good electrical contact.
•
If corrosion occurs at terminals, remove the battery
cover, disconnect the cables (negative (–) cable first), and
scrape the clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect
the cables (positive (+) cable first) and coat the terminals
with petroleum jelly.
•
Maintain cell electrolyte level with distilled or
demineralized water. Do not fill the cells above the
bottom of the fill ring inside each cell.
•
If you store the machine in a location where temperatures
are extremely high, the battery will run down more
rapidly than if the machine is stored in a location where
temperatures are cool.
