WATERING

NOTE: The electrolyte level in a battery rises while charging and will be close to its highest level after the
end of a charging cycle. It is recommended to fill the batteries at the end of a charging cycle. If
the electrolyte is below the top of the battery plates then fill just enough to cover the plates and
then top off when the charging cycle is complete.
Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are
present within battery cells at all times.
Do not work with or charge battery in an
area where open flames (including gas
furnace or water heater pilots), sparks,
cigarettes, or any other sources of
combustion are present. Always provide
ample ventilation in rooms where
batteries are being charged. Failure to
do so may result in severe bodily injury
and/or property damage.
A battery is a live electrical source. It
cannot be disconnected or neutralized.
Do not drop any tool or conductive
object onto the battery. A conductive
object that comes in contact with the
battery terminals will initiate a short
circuit of the battery. This could cause
the battery to explode resulting in
severe bodily injury and/or property
damage.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid.
Avoid contact with skin eyes or clothing.
Wear rubber gloves and safety glasses
while servicing batteries. DO NOT
INGEST! This may result in severe
bodily injury.
Maintenance, Service, and Repair
Do not overfill the batteries. Over filling
the batteries may cause the batteries
to boil over and result in severe bodily
injury or property damage.
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the
"OFF" position, then remove the key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in
the center "OFF" position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels
to prevent vehicle movement.
5. Disconnect the main positive and
negative cables at the batteries.
6. Clean the batteries. Refer to Cleaning the
Batteries section for information on cleaning
the batteries.
7. Check the electrolyte level in all battery cells.
If low, fill to the correct level with distilled water
using part number 77-201-00 battery filler, never
add additional battery electrolyte to the batteries.
8. Reconnect the batteries, remove the blocks from
the wheels and test drive.
