PERIODIC INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
3. Check
Battery terminal
Dirty Clean with wire brush
Improper connection
Caution
After cleaning the terminals, apply grease lightly to
the terminals.
4. Check
Breather hose
Obstruction Remove
Damage Replace
Caution
When inspecting the battery, be sure the breather hose
in routed correctly. If the breather hose touches the
frame or exists in such a way as to cause battery elec-
trolyte or gas to exit onto the frame, structural or cos-
metic damage to the machine can occur.
5. Connect
Breather hose
Be sure the breather hose is connected.
6. Check
Specified gravity
Charging current: 0.5A/10h
Specified gravity: 1.280 at 20 (68 F)
Less than 1.08 Charge
Replace the battery if:
Battery voltage will not rise to a specific value.
Sulfurization of one or more cells occurs. (As in-
dicated by the plates turning white, if the cell).
Specific gravity readings after a long, slow charge
indicate one cell to be lover than the rest.
Warpage or buckling of plates or insulators is
evident.
Caution
Always charge a new battery before using it to ensure
maximum performance.
