Instructions lor malntlilnlng acid full batteries
Activated dry type batteries
or
batteries that have
been receiVed already lull WIlt! acid. should be
se!'V!ced as lollows:
1 Add distIlled water (never add sulphunc aCId)
al least once a month ensuring thaI the acid level
always lopS lhe plate separators by 5 mm
(.19~).
2
Always keep Ihe battery terminals in a spot-
lessly Clean condition and smeared With jetty
3 Always keep the top battery coyer com-
pletely dry, ayolding oyerflows of electrolyte
which wIlt reduce Insulation and corrode the
battery bracket.
4 Make sure the charging equipment does not
glvo excessIVe or insufficient charging Intenstly.
beanng In mind that the aCId gravity should al·
ways be In between 1.24-'-1.27
kgil.
If not it will
be necessary to check ovel the insulabon and
the etflciency 01 the Charging and engine staning
eqUipment.
5 All acid lull batteries that have been stored
should
be
periodically charged at an Intensity
equal to 1/10th of the capacity and al correct acid
level
and correct graVity of 1.27 kg ll at
25~
(77"F).
6 All battenes should be Installed
on
the
machine With all retaining devICeS
well tight
and
With
all
anti-vibratory
devICeS
properly adjusted.
Note -
If
the battery is
due to be used in
tropical
ClImates (average tempersture over
35"(;)
(92"F)
