Maintenance, Service, and Repair CLEANING Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are present within battery cells at all times. Do not work with or charge battery in an area where open flames (including gas furnace or water heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes, or any other sources of combustion are present. Always provide ample ventilation in rooms where batteries are being charged.
Maintenance, Service, and Repair TESTING NOTE: A combination of the Load Test and Specific Gravity Test should be used to accurately determine the condition of the batteries. Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are present within battery cells at all times. Do not work with or charge battery in an area where open flames (including gas furnace or water heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes, or any other sources of combustion are present.
Page 132
Maintenance, Service, and Repair Specific Gravity Test NOTE: The batteries must be fully charged before performing this test. The specific gravity of a cell is an indication of the actual state of charge of the cell. A fully charged cell should have a reading of 1275 to 1300 (see the illustration to the right).
Maintenance, Service, and Repair WATERING NOTE: The electrolyte level in a battery rises while charging and will be close to its highest level after the end of a charging cycle. It is recommended to fill the batteries at the end of a charging cycle. If the electrolyte is below the top of the battery plates then fill just enough to cover the plates and then top off when the charging cycle is complete.
Maintenance, Service, and Repair 1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove the key. 2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position. 3. Set the park brake. 4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement. 5.
