INSPECTION
1. Make sure the battery is well seated in the battery box.
2. MAKE SURE the positive battery cable (RED) is
connected to the positive (+) terminal on the battery,
and the negative battery cable (BLACK) is connected
to the negative (–) terminal on the battery. See Figure 9.
NEVER connect the battery in reverse.
3. Check the battery cable connections. Poor contact can
result in malfunctions or poor starting. ALWAYS keep
the battery terminals firmly tightened.
4. The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity
of the battery fluid is 1.28 at 68°F. A specific gravity
of 1.245 or lower indicates the battery is dead and
must be recharged or replaced. ALWAYS disconnect
the battery cables before charging the battery with an
external electrical source.
WARNING
While connecting the positive battery
cable, DO NOT allow a wrench or any
other metallic object to make contact with
the battery's negative terminal post. This
can result in an electrical short circuit or
an explosion.
WARNING
Electrolyte is an acid and must be
handled with caution. ALWAYS follow
servicing instructions from the electrolyte
manufacturer to ensure safety. Serious
injury can result from careless handling
or noncompliance with safety handling
instructions.
FUEL
1. Read the fuel gauge located at the front of the trailer
or skid (Figure 10) to determine the engine fuel level.
If the fuel level is low, remove the fuel cap and fill
with the recommended diesel fuel shown in Table 2.
DO NOT overfill.

any spilled fuel immediately.
