Centralised Filling System Maintenance - JLG TOUCAN 1010 Service Manual

4
Checking electrolyte specific gravity :
DANGER
Battery electrolyte must not be allowed to
contact the skin or eyes. If it does occur, flush
the contacted area with water and consult
a d octo r immediately.
equ ipmen t must be worn (GLOVES,
GOGGLES, RUBBER APRON) to prevent the
electrolyte from contacting the skin or any
other part of the body during any servicing
operation on the battery.
DANGER
During maintenance or any servicing
operation on the battery, rings, watches or
any other jewellery must be removed.
NOTE
Specific gravity measure must not be
performed after battery cell filling.
1- Open the battery cell filling cap.
2- Using the hydrometer, take a sufficient quantity
of electrolyte so that the float emerges.
Ensure the float top does not touch the rubber
bulb or that the foat does not stick by
capillarity to the glass walls.
3- Read the value as indicated on the example
below :
4- Return the electrolyte in the cell and record
cell electrolyte specific gravity on the battery
service log.
5- Repeat operation for each battery cell.

4.5. Centralised filling system
maintenance
It is necessary to service the centralised filling system
at least once a year. Cleaning frequency must be
increased in case of premature clogging of the filter
or a reduction of water flow.
- Disconnect and clean the filter by reversing the
water flow from the normal direction.
- Check the hoses for flexibility. In case of
hardening in the connection areas, replace the
hose.
- Check every fitting for tightness and leakage.
- Check the cell caps individually. Ensure the
perfect mobility of the floats. In case of
excessive clogging, replace the cap.
