Battery Storage
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days:
1. Remove the battery and charge it fully (see Battery
Service).
2. Either store battery on a shelf or on the machine.
3. Leave cables disconnected if the battery is stored on
the machine.
4. Store battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick de-
terioration of the battery charge.
5. To help prevent the battery from freezing, make sure
it is fully charged (see Battery Service).
Battery Care
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly main-
tained. The top of the battery must be kept clean. lf the
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will run down more rapidly

every 30 days if machine is in storage.
6. Maintain cell electrolyte level with distilled or demin-
eralized water. Do not fill cells above the fill line.
