Checking Battery Specific Gravity
Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific gravity.
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°C): 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).
Charging 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.
