INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
When Charging Battery
• When charging the battery, remove the battery from the machine. Remove the
battery cap, and charge the battery in a location with good ventilation. When
charging the battery as installed in the machine, remove the battery cables
before charging is started.
• When the charger is connected to or disconnected from the battery, ensure that
the switch of the charger is turned off.
• Battery cables must always be disconnected when performing quick charging.
If the quick charge is performed with the battery cables connected, the generator
may be burned out.
When Connecting Battery Cable
When connecting the battery cables, first connect the battery positive (+) terminal
side, and then connect the negative (-) terminal at the end.
When Taking Out Power Supply Directly from Battery
Do not take out power supply directly from the battery.
If it is necessary to take out power supply from the battery, consult the machine
manufacturer.
Inspecting the Battery Fluid Level
and Adding the Battery Fluid
ADVICE
Depending on the battery type, there is a case that the fluid level check
method is different or that fluid level check or fluid adding is not required, so
carefully read the instruction attached to the battery before starting any work.
The battery fluid should never be added beyond the specified level. The
battery fluid can spill over, and the battery terminals may be corroded. When
the battery fluid is spilled, immediately wash it away with water completely.
When battery fluid has been added, make sure to charge the battery (by
running the engine). Especially in winter, the battery fluid may freeze causing
a damage to the battery case.
If reduction in the battery fluid is drastic, immediately have it inspected at an
Isuzu Distributor.
