Battery, checking<br />

Página 19 de 28<br />

27-24<br />

Notes:<br />

Checking specific gravity shortly after topping<br />

up with distilled water will result in erroneous<br />

readings. Charge battery after topping up with<br />

distilled water, then check specific gravity.<br />

Minimum battery temperature of 10 C (50<br />

F) is required when carrying out specific gravity<br />

tests.<br />

Specific gravity of all cells must be checked.<br />

CAUTION!<br />

Before beginning repairs on the electrical<br />

system<br />

Switch off all electrical consumers.<br />

Switch ignition off and remove ignition<br />

key.<br />

- Remove all battery cell caps.<br />

- Dip end of hydrometer into cell and extract<br />

sufficient electrolyte to allow indicator float to<br />

swim freely (the greater the electrolyte density in<br />

kg/dm 3 , the higher the indicator float position).<br />

Note each cell's specific gravity reading from<br />

float -arrow-. Repeat sequence until all cells are<br />

checked.<br />
