Raymond® Walkie Pallet Truck Maintenance Manual
Component Procedures Adding Water
Adding Water Water must be added to battery cells periodically. Frequency and quantity depend on the water level above the plates and the amount of gassing during charge. Guidelines: • Wear personal protective equipment, see “Battery Safety” on page 2-7. Use only distilled water or water approved by the battery manufacturer. • Before charging, make sure battery plates are covered with electrolyte. Add water, if necessary, only to cover plates. • Electrolyte level rises during charging. To avoid overflow, add water to fill port, if necessary, after charging, and after hydrometer and voltmeter readings are taken. • Keep the outside of the battery case clean and dry.
