• Battery Charging
A CAUTION
• When the battery
is
being activated, hydrogen and oxygen
gases
in
the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open
sparks and flames away from the battery at all times,
especially when charging the battery.
• When charging battery, remove battery vent plugs.
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with
the negative terminal first.
When connecting the cable to the battery, start with the
positive terminal first.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across
the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
1.
Make sure each electrolyte level
is
to the bottom of vent wells,
if
necessary add distilled water
in
a well-ventilated area.
2.
The water
in
the electrolyte evaporates during recharging.
Liquid shortage damages the battery. Excessive liquid spills
over and damages the tractor body.
3.
To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal
to the charger positive terminal and the negative to the negative,
then recharge
in
the standard fashion.
4.
A boost charge
is
only for emergencies. It will partially charges
the battery at a high rate and
in
a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it
is
necessary to recharge
the battery
as
early
as
possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
5.
When the specific gravity of electrolyte become between 1.27
and 1.29 charge has completed.
6.
When exchanging
an
old battery into new one, use battery of
equal specification shown
in
table 1.
• Direction for Storage
1.
When storing the tractor for long periods of time, remove the
battery from tractor, adjust the electrolyte to the proper level and
store
in
a dry place out of direct sunlight.
2.
The battery self-discharges while it
is
stored.
Recharge it once every three months
in
hot seasons and once
every six months
in
cold seasons.
