Replenishing the battery fluid
A poorly maintained battery will corrode
and discharge quickly. The battery fluid
should be checked at least once a month.
1. The level should be between the up-
per and lower level marks. Use only
distilled water if refilling is necessary.
1. Maximum level mark “UPPER LEVEL”
2. Minimum level mark “LOWER LEVEL”
2. Disconnect the negative () lead.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) lead.
4. Remove the bolts for battery bracket
and remove the battery.
CAUTION:
Normal tap water contains minerals which
are harmful to a battery. Therefore, refill
only with distilled water.
5. When the machine is not to be used
for a month or longer, remove the bat-
tery and store it in a cool, dark place.
Completely recharge the battery be-
fore reusing.
6. If the battery is to be stored for a long-
er period than the above, check the
specific gravity at least once a month
and recharge the battery when it is too
low.
7. Always make sure the connections are
correct when putting the battery back
in the machine. Make sure the breath-
er hose is properly connected and is
not damaged or obstructed.
