Watering - Taylor-Dunn TT-416 Operator's Manual

Watering

Flooded batteries, FLA (non-maintenance free batteries only.)
CAUTION
Do not overfill the batteries. Over filling the batteries may cause the batteries to boil over
and result in chemical burns and/or property damage.
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 battery 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.
WARNING
1) Refer to battery warnings at the start of this
chapter.
2) Place the Direction Control switch in the
center "OFF" position (neutral).
3) Turn the Start switch OFF.
4) Confirm park brake is applied.
5) Place blocks under the front or rear wheels to
prevent vehicle movement.
6) Disconnect the battery.
7. Clean the battery. Refer to Cleaning section for information on cleaning the battery.
8. 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.
9. Remove the blocks from the wheels and test drive.
