temperatures as low as -65°F. without freezing. An
acceptable hydrometer reading of 1.210 - 1.220 at 80°F will
be obtained from a fully charged battery (2.0-2.2 volts dc
per cell).
c. Battery Preparation
WARNING
Do not smoke or use an open flame in
the vicinity when servicing batteries.
Batteries generate hydrogen during
charging, a highly explosive gas. A
severe
bum will result when
electrolyte is spilled on the skin or
clothing.
Use extreme care in
handling while filling batteries.
(1) Remove cell caps and fill battery cells with
electrolyte to 38 inches above the plates.
(2) Make sure vent holes in cell caps are open and
install caps.

Section X. MUFFLER AND EXHAUST PIPES AND BREATHER SYSTEM
3.85. General.
Thin section contains information on the muffler and
exhaust pipes and breather system of the engine generator
set. The muffler and exhaust pipes provide a method for
expelling exhaust gases from the engine generator set. The
exhaust pipe allows the exhaust gases from the engine to he
discharged from an opening above the grille. The discharge
opening is covered by a cap that is opened by exhaust
pressure when the engine generator set is running. The
breather system provides a method for returning oil to the
crankcase and improving the atmosphere around the engine
generator set. Accumulated oil residue and gases in the valve
cover pass through an oil separator which separates the oil
and the gases. The oil is returned to the crankcase and the
gases exhaust into the air cleaner inlet. The breather system
is removed as outlined in paragraph 3-87.
3-86. Muffler and Exhaust Pipe Replacement.
To replace the exhaust pipe, see figure 3-12 and proceed as
follows
