WEEKLY MAINTENANCE:
1. Check Battery water level in each cell of the Batteries
and fi ll as needed. Always use distilled water to refi ll
Batteries. Batteries should be fi lled approximately
3
⁄4'' to 1'' above the plates. Overfi lling will cause
the batteries to leak during charging. The charging
process creates gas bubbles inside the Battery, which
effectively increases the volume of the electrolyte.
if needed, 8-10 ft/lb MAX.
4. Grease caster swivel and Squeegee pivot point.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE:
Call your local dealer for yearly maintenance.
STORING MACHINE:
1. Be sure to fl ush the Tanks out completely. To
