42 REGULAR CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE WORK
BBattery Charging
To avoid personal injury:
A 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.
A When charging battery, remove
battery vent plugs.
A 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.
A Do not check battery charge by
placing a metal object across the
terminals.
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 excavator body.
3. To slow charge the battery, connect the
battery positive terminal to the charge
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 charge 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
reaches between 1.27 and 1.29 the charge
is completed.
6. When exchanging an old battery for new
one, use battery of equal specification.
BGreasing of Swing Bearing Teeth
1. Fill with grease through the grease nipple (at
the right end side).
2. Grease at each 90 (1.58 rad.) position of
the swing frame.
3. Fill with approx. 50g of grease (approx. 20
pumps with the grease gun). Distribute the
grease over the teeth.
(1) Battery (A) Battery fluid level
(B) "Too low"
(C) "Correct"
(D) "Too high"
(1) Grease nipple (for Bearing teeth)
