empty the solution tank and the
recovery tank before doing any
maintenance. Keep all fasteners tight.
WARNING: Always wear eye protection and
protective clothing when working near
batteries. Do not put tools or other
metal objects across the battery
terminals or the tops of the batteries.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the machine, and
discharge across the tops of the
batteries, do not fill the batteries above
the bottom of the tube in each cell.

1. To inspect batteries, tip up recovery tank until it locks in
the full open position. See figure 27A. To close the tank,
pull up on the latch arm and then slowly lower the tank to
the closed position.

empty.
NOTE: There is an intermediate position available for holding
the recovery tank open for charging batteries. See figure 27B.
WARNING: Do not operate or perform
maintenance on the machine while
the recovery tank is in the
intermediate position. The tank can
be accidentally bumped and it may
slam shut.
2. Disconnect the batteries. Use a cloth and a solution of
ammonia or bicarbonate of soda to wipe the top of the
batteries. Clean the battery terminals. Reconnect the
batteries.

damage.
