ELECTRICAL

To adjust hydrometer readings for temperature differences,

subtract .004 (4 gravity points) from the specific gravity

reading for every 10 (5.5 ) the electrolyte temperature

is below 80 (27 ). The corrected reading is most

important during cold weather. Test each cell in the same

manner. If there is more than .050 (50 gravity points)

variation between highest and lowest reading, replace the

battery. If make up water is added, allow the battery to

charge for 2 to 4 hours before taking hydrometer readings.

If the battery requires cleaning, apply a solution of baking

soda and water with a brush. Rinse the battery and tray

with clean water and apply grease to terminals.

MAINTENANCE:

CHECK BATTERIES and connections every 50 hours.

Terminals should be clean and tight and electrolyte level

with the base of each vent well. Add distilled water as

required but NEVER add acid or electrolyte. To test the

electrolyte solution, measure the specific gravity with a

hydrometer. At 80"F (27 ) hydrometer' readings are:

1.250 - up

fully charged

1.225 - 1.250

full to half charge

1.150 - 1.225

half to low charge

1.000- 1.150

dead cell

1.000

water

Console Fuses

INSPECT WIRING HARNESSES and connections every

400 hours for loose or damaged connections, chafed wire,

etc.

FUSES:

Machines are equipped with two 25 amp fuses mounted on

the dash. There is also a 30 amp fuse self-contained in the

light switch.
