On generators equippedwith acoustic suppression (ASK), remove batteries accessdoor.(1) Inspect battery cable terminal connectors (2),(10) and (11) for corrosion, deterioration, or physicaldamage. Inspect battery terminal covers (12) for properinstallation and physical condition. Replace if cracked, splitor tom.(2) Inspect cables (1), (3) and (4)) for breaks,damage and deteriorated insulation.(3) Inspect battery top frames (5), bottom frame(12), and tray (13) for corrosion or physical damage. Checkto see that batteries are held securely in place and that allattaching hardware nut (7), washer (8), screw (14), washer(15) and bolt (9) are securely in place.Battery electrolyte can cause severe bumsto the skin. Always flush exposed parts ofthe skin with water as quickly as possible.3 - 8Change 9The 6TN and 6TL batteries can be mixed or matched.However, maintenance–free batteries cannot be mixed ormatched with military batteries. The 6TN and or the 6TLbatteries will perform properly in hot weather as long aselectrolyte levels are carefully monitored. If the electrolyteexpands and causes the level to rise, some fluid must beremoved. If the level becomes too low due to evaporation,distilled water may be used to obtain the proper level. Agood grade of drinking water (excluding mineral waters)may be used if distilled water is not available.Electrolyte(NSNS6810-00-249-9354and6810-00-843-1640) have a specific gravity of 1.280 andshould be used in these batteries. Do NOT adjust theelectrolyte in wet batteries to a lower specific gravity.(4) Inspect battery (6) for leaks or cracks. Checktop of battery and battery caps for cleanliness. Check batteryelectrolyte (liquid) level.Levels h o u l d be
