Battery Service<br />

The battery is the heart of the electrical system. With<br />

regular and proper service, battery life can be extended.<br />

Additionally, battery and electrical component failure<br />

can be prevented.<br />

CAUTION<br />

When working with batteries, use extreme <strong>caution</strong><br />

to avoid splashing or spilling electrolyte.<br />

Electrolyte can destroy clothing and burn skin or<br />

eyes. Always wear safety goggles and a face<br />

shield when working with batteries.<br />

Battery Removal and Installation (Fig. 60)<br />

1. Raise and support operator seat. Remove battery<br />

access panel.<br />

2. Loosen and remove negative cable from battery. After<br />

negative cable is removed, loosen and remove positive<br />

cable.<br />

3. Loosen battery strap that secures battery to machine.<br />

4. Carefully remove battery from machine.<br />

5. Install battery in reverse order making sure to connect<br />

and tighten positive cable to battery before connecting<br />

negative cable.<br />

NOTE: Before connecting the negative (ground) cable<br />

to the battery, connect a digital multimeter (set to DC<br />

Amps) between the negative battery post and the negative<br />

(ground) cable connector. The reading should be<br />

less than 0.1 amp. If the reading is 0.1 amp or more, the<br />

machine’s electrical system should be tested for short<br />

circuits or faulty components and repaired.<br />

1. Perform following inspections and maintenance:<br />

A. Check for cracks. Replace battery if cracked or<br />

leaking.<br />

B. Check battery terminal posts for corrosion. Use<br />

wire brush to clean corrosion from posts.<br />

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, tape<br />

or block vent holes to the filler caps and make<br />

sure the caps are on tightly.<br />

C. Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top<br />

of the battery which might indicate a loose or missing<br />

filler cap, overcharging, loose terminal post or overfilling.<br />

Also, check battery case for dirt and oil. Clean<br />

the battery with a solution of baking soda and water,<br />

then rinse it with clean water.<br />

D. Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Replace<br />

the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.<br />

E. Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the level<br />

is below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all cells<br />

with distilled water between the minimum and maximum<br />

fill lines. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15 minutes<br />

to allow sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.<br />

6. Secure battery with battery strap. Install battery access<br />

panel. Lower and secure operator seat.<br />
