MAINTENANCE
Battery Maintenance
Mishandling of the battery shortens the service life of the battery
and adds to maintenance cost. When handling the battery do the
following:
Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte come in contact
with your body or clothing.
Always wear
eye protection
and
rubber gloves
, since
the battery contains sulfuric acid which burns skin and eats
through clothing.
Always check the battery terminals periodically to
ensure that they are in good condition.
Use wire brush or sand paper to clean the battery
terminals.
Always check battery for cracks or any other damage.
If white pattern appears inside the battery or paste
has accumulated at the bottom, replace the battery.
If the pump will not be in operation for a long period
of time, store in cool dry place and check the battery
charge level every month to maintain the performance
of the battery.
Check the battery regularly and make sure that each
electrolyte level is to the bottom of the vent well
(Figure 43). If necessary add only distilled water in a
well-ventilated area.
