MAINTENANCE
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
A battery does not store electricity, but is able to produce electricity as the result of a chemical reaction which
releases stored chemical energy in the form of electrical energy. The chemical reaction takes place faster in warm
conditions and slower in cold conditions. Temperature is important when conducting tests on a battery and test
results must be corrected to compensate for temperature differences.
As a battery ages, it still performs adequately except that its capacity is diminished. Capacity describes the time that
a battery can continue to provide its design amperes from a full charge.
A battery has a maximum life, therefore good maintenance is designed to maximize the available life and reduce the
factors that can reduce the life of the battery.

Swing Out Battery Tray

Bumper should always be in contact with battery door when closed.
Adjust rubber bumper to remove any slack between the latch and
5
latch lock.
Type EE vehicles will have a lock located near the bottom of the
swing out battery tray doors. A key to operate the lock is supplied
with each Type EE vehicle.

At Each Charging Cycle

To reduce the possibility of fire, never charge a battery pack that is to be unattended beyond the
normal charging cycle. Overcharging could cause damage to the vehicle batteries and result in
extreme overheating. The charger should be checked after 24 hours and unplugged after the
charge cycle is complete.
Before charging the batteries, inspect the cord of the battery charger for missing or cracked insulation, inspect the
plug to be sure the grounding prong is intact.
Charge the batteries after each day's use.

Monthly

• Inspect all wiring for fraying, loose terminations, corrosion or deterioration of insulation.
• Check that the electrolyte level is correct and add suitable water as required.
• Clean the batteries and wire terminations.
• Coat battery terminals with commercially available protectant.

Electrolyte Level and Water

The correct level of the electrolyte is 1/2" (13 mm) above the plates in each cell.
This level will leave approximately 1/4" - 3/8" (6 - 10 mm) of space between the electrolyte and the vent tube. The
electrolyte level is important since any portion of the plates exposed to air will be ruined beyond repair. Also avoid fill-
ing with too much water, which will result in electrolyte being forced out of the battery due to gassing and a decrease
in volume of the electrolyte that results from the charging cycle.
