Note:
D Cable numbers (#s) indicated in Illustration 6-3 and in this instruction are
marked on the parts.
D Insulator numbers are shown for convenience in description, but are not
marked on the parts.
D There are no Insulators #3 and #7.
D Battery numbers may or may not be marked on batteries. Mark numbers on
batteries if desired.
D Be sure that battery compartment top and bottom insulation is in place.
D Connect cables only in the order instructed, and only when instructed.
D Apply 45-50 pound-inches (5.1-5.6 N-m) torque to ALL battery connec
tions.
D Place insulation boots over ends of each cable.
D Don't remove paper backing from any insulating separator pad. Orient insu
lator pads with paper backing facing up.
1. Verify that AMX key switch is OFF, circuit breaker is OFF, and charger cord in
unplugged.
2. Ensure that all relevant Service Notes and Field Modification Instructions have
been applied.
3. Ensure that new battery voltage is no more than 0.4 volts higher than average bat
tery voltage when replacing individual batteries. For severely discharged sets, 112
Volts or less, recharge the set for one hour before replacing defective battery(s)
with new battery(s).
1. Install terminal plates on each battery (see Illustration 6-4). Discard flat wash
ers supplied with batteries.
2. Position Batteries #2 and #4 (see Illustration 6-3) in the battery compartment,
one on top of the other with a battery separator pad between them. Put both bat
teries in back right side of compartment.
3. Position Batteries #1 and #3 in the compartment opening stacked one on top
of the other, with a separator pad between them (see Illustration 6-3). Push
both batteries into position alongside Batteries #2 and #4.
4. Install Insulator #4 between Batteries #2 and #4 and Batteries #1 and #3.
Don't confuse Insulator #4 with Insulator #1. Insulator #4 has two non-
functional holes. Insulator #1s each have two cup-shaped bumps with no
holes.
5. Install an Insulator #2 next to Batteries #1 and #3, and another Insulator #2
next to Batteries #2 and #4.
