BaTTery MaiNTeNaNCe
Mishandling of the battery shortens the service life of the
battery and adds to maintenance cost. When handling the
battery do the following:
1. Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte come in
contact with your body or clothing.
2. Always wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since
the battery contains sulfuric acid which burns skin and
eats through clothing.
3. Always check the battery terminals periodically to
ensure that they are in good condition.
4. Use wire brush or sand paper to clean the battery
terminals.
5. 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.
CauTioN
alWayS wear safety glasses or face
mask, protective clothes, and rubber
gloves when working with battery.
6. If the pump 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.
7. Check the battery regularly and make sure that each
electrolyte level is to the bottom of the vent well
(Figure 58). If necessary add only distilled water in a
well-ventilated area.

WarNiNg
Electrolyte is an acid and must be
handled with caution. Servicing
instructions from the electrolyte
manufacturer must alWayS be
followed to ensure safety. Serious
injury can result from careless
handling and noncompliance to safety handling
instructions.
Overfilling the battery may cause the electrolyte to
overflow resulting in corrosion to nearby components.
Immediately wash off any spilled electrolyte (battery
acid).
Additionally, when connecting the positive
(+) cable to the battery's positive (+)
terminal post, Do NoT allow contact of
the wrench or any metallic part to come
in contact with the battery's negative(-)
terminal post. This may result in an electrical short
circuit or an explosion.
