MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Do not use the battery if the battery electrolyte level is below LOWER LEVEL line. If you do so, it will
deteriorate the battery inside and reduce the service life of the battery. In addition, it may cause an ex-
plosion.
Do not bring any open flame near the battery. Otherwise, it may explode since the battery generates the
flammable gas.
Battery electrolyte is dangerous object. If it gets in your eyes or on your skin, wash it off with a large
amount of water and consult a doctor.
Do not use a dry wipe to clean the battery. A wet wipe will prevent fire or explosion from static electrici-
ty.
NOTICE
Do not add the electrolyte to the battery exceeding UPPER LEVEL line. If the electrolyte level is too
high, it may leak and cause damage to the paint surface or corrode other parts.
If the battery water may freeze after refilling with the purified water (such as a commercial battery fluid),
do the replenishment before the day's work on the next day.
1.
Open the door (1) on the rear right of the machine.
The batteries are installed at (A) part.
2.
Remove the nuts (2) (2 places) on the battery top surface,
and remove the covers (3) (2 places).
REMARK
•
The threaded parts of nuts (2) are made of resin, and
the thread face returns to the original condition even if
the nuts are tightened repeatedly. The tightening force
remains unchanged all the time and does not become
light. This is not an abnormal condition.
•
Tighten the nuts (2) to the stroke end, and tighten
them further until they rotate idle.
METHOD FOR CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL FROM SIDE OF BATTERY
If it is possible to check the electrolyte level from the side of the battery, check as follows.
1.
Use a wet cloth to clean the area around the electrolyte
level lines and check that the electrolyte level is between
UPPER LEVEL (U.L.) and LOWER LEVEL (L.L.) lines.
