MAINTENANCE

Check the Batteries

Proper battery condition is essential to good engine performance and operational safety. Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and connections can result in engine component damage and hazardous conditions.

Electrocution hazard. Contact with hot or live circuits may result in death or serious injury. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.

Bodily injury hazard. Batteries contain acid. Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.

1Put on protective clothing and eye wear.

2Be sure that the battery cable connections are tight and free of corrosion.

3Be sure that the battery hold-down bar is in place and secure.

4Remove the battery vent caps.

5Check the battery acid level. If needed, replenish with distilled water to the bottom of the battery fill tube. Do not overfill.

6Install the vent caps.

Adding terminal protectors and a corrosion preventative sealant will help eliminate corrosion on the battery terminals and cables.

Check the Engine Coolant Level - Liquid Cooled Models

Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level is essential to engine service life. An improper coolant level will affect the engine's cooling capability and damage engine components. Daily checks will allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant level that might indicate cooling system problems.

1Check the fluid level in the coolant recovery tank. Add fluid as needed.

Result: The fluid level should be in the

NORMAL range.
