NOTE: Do not take readings immediately after adding distilled water, if the water and acid are not thoroughly mixed, the reading may not be accurate.

Check the hydrometer readings against this chart.

NOTE: If the readings are taken when the battery electrolyte is any temperature other than 80°F (27°C), the reading must be temperature corrected.

To find the corrected specific gravity reading when the temperature of the battery electrolyte is other than 80°F (27°): Add (+) to the specific gravity reading 0.004 (4 points), for each 10°F (6°C) above 80° (27°C).

Subtract (-) from the specific reading 0.004 (4 points), for each 10°F (6°C) below 80°F (27°C).

TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES

When servicing machine, avoid contact with battery acid.

Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep covers open when charging.

Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with batteries.

Charge batteries in a well ventilated area. Leave the battery cover open.

Use a 24 volt, 18 amp maximum output or 25 amp (depending on the size of the batteries), DC charger which will automatically shut off when the batteries are fully charged.

1.Stop the machine in a clean, well-ventilated area next to the charger.

2.Turn “OFF” machine.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key.

3.Raise the battery cover.

Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep covers open when charging.

4.Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell. Before charging, add just enough distilled water to cover the plates. After charging is complete, add just enough distilled water to bring up the level to the indicator ring. If the water level is too high before charging, normal expansion rate of the electrolyte may cause an overflow. Resulting in a loss of battery acid balance and damage the machine.

5.Replace the battery caps, and leave them in place while charging.

6.Unplug the battery connector from the machine.
