Battery - Check condition
Remove the cap (1) and check that the electrolyte level (2)
is about 10 mm above the plates. If the level is low, fill up
with distilled water to the correct level.
If the ambient temperature is below freezing point, the
engine should be running for some time after adding the
distilled water. Otherwise there is a risk of the electrolyte
freezing.
Check that the ventilation holes in the element caps are
clogged and then place the cap.
The cable shoes should be clean and tightened. Corroded
cable shoes should be cleaned and greased with acid-
proof vaseline.
Be careful when washing with high pressure water and do
not place the jet nozzle too close to the radiator.
When disconnecting the battery, always disconnect the
negative cable first. When connecting the battery, always
connect the positive cable first.
Dispose of batteries properly. The battery
contains environmentally harmful lead.
When performing welding work on the machine,
disconnect the battery cable and then all the cables
connected to the alternator.
Rubber elements and fastening screws - Check
Check all rubber elements (1), replace all of the elements
if more than 25% of them on one side of the drum are
cracked deeper than 10-15 mm (0.4-0.6 in).
Check using a knife blade or pointed object.
Check also that the screw fasteners (2) are
tightened.
