    INTRODUCTION PERIODIC MAINTENANCE/LUBRICATION PERIODIC CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS INTRODUCTION This chapter includes all information necessary to perform recommended checks and adjustments. These preventive maintenance procedures, if followed, will ensure more reliable machine operation and a longer service life. The need for costly overhaul work will be greatly reduced. This information applies to machines already in service as well as to new machines that are being prepared for sale.

Therefore, always follow these preventive measures: • Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.
  • Page 87 CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY Since VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries are sealed, it is not possible to check the charge state of the battery by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be checked by measuring the voltage at the battery terminals.
  • Page 88 CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY Example c. Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V d. Charging time = 6.5 hours e. Charge of the battery = 20 ~ 30% 5. Charge: Charging Ambient temperature 20°C (68°F) • battery (refer to the appropriate charging method illustration) WARNING Do not quick charge a battery.
  • Page 89 CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY • As shown in the following illustration, the open-circuit voltage of an VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery stabilizes about 30 minutes after charging has been completed. Therefore, wait 30 minutes after charging is completed before measuring the open-circuit voltage.
  • Page 90 CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY Charging method using a variable-current (voltage) charger Charger Ammeter Measure the open-circuit Leave the battery unused for more than voltage prior to charging. 30 minutes before measuring its open- circuit voltage. Connect a charger and Set the charging voltage to 16~ 17V.
