BATTERY MAINTENANCE (Option)
Mishandling of the battery shortens the service life of the battery and adds to maintenance cost. When handling the battery do the following:
The battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, be careful not to let the battery electrolyte come in contact with your body or clothing.
Always check the battery terminals periodically to ensure that they are in good condition.
Always wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since the battery contains sulfuric acid which burns skin and eats through clothing. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and contact a doctor immediately.
Use wire brush or sand paper to clean the battery terminals.
Always 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.
If the compactor will not be in operation for a long period of time, store in cool dry place and check the battery charge level every month to maintain the performance of the battery.
