Before performing any machine maintenance or adjustments, make sure the keyswitch is off and the key is removed from the machine.Wet-cell Battery MaintenanceCorrect maintenance of electric vehicle batteries can greatly extend their life Well-maintained batteries maylast up to three years, but failure after one year is common if maintenance has been inadequate.There are three simple rules for good battery maintenance:• Maintain the correct electrolyte level (check weekly). Use distilled water in batteries whenever possible.If batteries are discharged, add just enough water to cover the plates in each cell If batteries are fully-charged, fill each cell to the bottom of the filler tube. Do not overfill the batteries! Do not add acid tobatteries!• Keep the batteries charged (charge weekly). Batteries should be charged each time that a machine isused for more than one hour The battery compartment cover should be open during charging to avoida concentrated buildup of hydrogen gas Operators should follow the instructions provided with theirspecific battery charger to determine how long the batteries should be charged. Even when a machine isstored, the batteries should be charged once a month to prevent the batteries from “sulfating” Almost allbattery caps are vented, so there’s no need to loosen or remove them for charging• Keep the batteries clean (check and clean monthly). Use a damp cloth to wipe dirt from the top of thebatteries Battery terminals must be clean and tight If the tops of the batteries are wet after charging,the batteries have probably been overfilled or overcharged.Note: If there is acid on the batteries, wash the tops of the batteries with a solution of twotablespoons of baking soda to one quart/liter of water.BatteryDisconnectBattery (6)
