6. Check temperature of electrolyte, if it
reaches 40°C (105°F), lower the
charging rate. When temperature is too
high, reduce charging rate and charge
for a proportionately longer period.
7. If the tractor is stored after original
charge, periodically recharge as
shown below :
A battery is fully charged when the
cells are all gassing freely and the
specific gravity ceases to rise for
three consecutive readings taken at
hour intervals. Specific gravity shall
then be adjusted to showed in Table
1.
8. Check electrolyte level two hours af-
ter chargingis finished and correct it.
