Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame, and smoking material away from battery.
Always wear safety glasses when working with batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water.
Always replace batteries with UpRight batteries or manufacturer approved replacements weighing >28
kg (62 lbs.) each.
Check battery fluid level daily.
If the electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (3/8 in.) above plates, add distilled water ONLY. Do not use tap
water with high mineral content; it will shorten battery life.
The battery and cables should be inspected regularly for signs of cracks in the case, electrolyte leakage
and corrosion of the terminals. Inspect the cables for worn spots or breaks in the insulation and for broken
cable terminals.
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and for complete service instructions.
