Every 300 Hours; Operation 13 - Battery Electrolyte Check - New Holland T7030 Operator's Manual

EVERY 300 HOURS carry out the
preceding checks plus the following:
OPERATION 13
BATTERY ELECTROLITE CHECK
IMPORTANT: This operation applies to the battery
on tractors operating in tropical climates. Tractors
operating in temperate climates should have the
battery electrolyte level checked every 1200 hours or
12 months.
To gain access to the battery, release the locking
catches (1), pull the step frame outwards and allow
to lower fully.
Release the battery cover by turning the locking
catch (2) anti--clockwise. Lift the cover from the two
guide pins which retain and support the rear of the
cover.
Unscrew and remove the six vent plugs (1) from the
top of the top of the battery.
Check that the electrolyte level is above the top of the
separator plates in each cell.
If necessary, top up with distilled or de-mineralised
water until the level is correct. Do not overfill. Never
use tap water or water from a rain barrel or other
source.
IMPORTANT: In the event of the battery being
severely discharged, such that the terminal voltage
is below 7 volts, recovery will require a special
charging procedure. See your authorised dealer.
