Checking Battery Specific Gravity
Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific gravity.
CHECKING GRAVITY
a. Hydrometer Battery
b. Battery
NOTE: Do not take readings immediately after adding
distilled water, if the water and acid are not thoroughly
mixed, the reading may not be accurate.
Check the hydrometer readings against this chart.
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
° °
@ 80 F (27 C)
1.265
1.225
1.190
1.155
1.120
NOTE: If the readings are taken when the battery
electrolyte is any temperature other than 80°F (27°C),
the reading must be temperature corrected.
To find the corrected specific gravity reading when the
temperature of the battery electrolyte is other than 80°F
(27°C): Add (+) to the specific gravity reading 0.004 (4
points), for each 10°F (6°C) above 80° (27°C). Subtract
(-) from the specific reading 0.004 (4 points), for each
10°F (6°C) below 80°F (27°C).

Charging Batteries
When servicing machine, avoid contact with
battery acid.
Lors de l'entretien de la machine, évitez tout
contact avec l'acide de batterie.
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can
result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep
covers open when charging.
Les batteries émettent du gaz hydrogène. Une
explosion ou un incendie peut en résulter.
Maintenez les étincelles et les flammes nues à
l'écart. Gardez les carters ouverts lors du charge-
ment.
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
working with batteries.
Portez des lunettes de protection et des vêtements
de protection lorsque vous travaillez avec des
batteries.
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area.
Chargez les batteries dans un endroit bien ventilé.
Switch main circuit breaker off before charging.
