MAINTENANCE

BATTERY

Dangerous Acid, Explosive Gases!
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent acid
burns, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas while
being charged. To prevent a fire or explosion,
charge batteries only in well ventilated areas. Keep
sparks, open flames, and other sources of ignition
away from the battery at all times.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Remove
all jewelry when servicing batteries.
Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable,
make sure all switches are OFF. If ON, a spark will
occur at the ground cable terminal which could
cause an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline
vapors are present. When disconnecting the battery,
ALWAYS disconnect the negative (-) terminal FIRST.
1. Check the fluid level in the battery every 25 hours or
once a week. If low, fill to the recommended level
with distilled water ONLY.
NOTE: DO NOT overfill the battery. Poor
performance or early failure due to loss of
electrolyte will result.
2. Keep the cables, terminals, and external surfaces of
the battery clean. A buildup of corrosive acid or
grime on the external surfaces can cause the battery
to self-discharge. Self discharge occurs rapidly when
moisture is present.
The battery terminals should be cleaned every 100
hours to prevent corrosion build-up. Wash the
cables, terminals and external surfaces with a mild
baking soda and water solution. Rinse thoroughly
with clear water.
NOTE: DO NOT allow the baking soda to enter the
battery cells as this will destroy the electrolyte.

ENGINE EXHAUST HEAT
EXCHANGER
If an engine is not properly maintained, the
exhaust gases may deposit carbon on the
outside of the heat exchanger coil and affect the
cleaning solution temperature. If this condition
exists, remove the heat exchanger from the unit
and clean the carbon off the coil. This may be
done by taking it to a radiator dealer and having
it boiled out.
Proper maintenance of the unit, such as
regular tune-ups, and proper fuel will help
prevent carbon build-up on the coil and
increase the life of the unit.
Using A212 ULTRA CLEAN INDUSTRIAL
CLEANER or A217-1 ULTRAPAC RENOVATE
will also greatly enhance the removal of carbon
deposits. Soak the coil and casing ONLY. This
should be performed as needed.
