BATTERY MAINTENANCE

DANGER :

Lead-acid battery contains sulfuric acid, which may damage eyes or skin on contact.

FORYOUR SAFETY:

zALWAYS wear a face shield to avoid acid getting into the eyes. If acid gets in contact with eyes, flush immediately with clean water and get medical advice.

zWear rubber gloves and protective clothes to keep acid off skin. If acid gets in contact with skin, wash off immediately with clean water.

zUse a flashlight to check battery electrolyte level. ALWAYS check the engine is stopped.

zDO NOT charge battery or jump-start engine when the battery is frozen. Warm the battery to 15 degrees F or battery may explode.

zReplace the battery with the same or similar capacity battery or battery may explode.

MDR-9GH — MAINTENANCE

zDO NOT close the exhaust outlet of battery.The gas pressure building up in the battery may cause explosion.

zBefore using a battery charger, read and understand the charger instruction manual thoroughly.

zCharge the battery in a non-spark, well-ventilated area. Avoid fire from cigarette sparks or matches.

1.If a battery has not been used for some time, reduce the charge level initially to protect each plate inside the battery.

2.Check the battery terminals periodically to ensure that they are in good condition.

3.Use wire brush or sand paper to clean the battery terminals.

4.Check battery for cracks or any other damage. If white pattern appears inside the battery or paste has accumulated at the bottom, replace the battery.

5.Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte:

z completely charged: 1.270 - 1.290

z needs charging: 1.260 or lower

6.If the machine will not be in operation for a long period of time, charge the battery sufficiently, tighten all caps, correctly, store in cool dry place and check the battery charge level every month to maintain the performance of the battery.
