(1) Clean terminal connectors, (2), (4), (10) and (11), batteries (6) and frame using a low sodium solution and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Notify higher level of maintenance if terminals, cables, batteries or frame is damaged. c. Service. NOTE The 6TN and 6TL batteries can be mixed or matched. However, maintenance-free batteries cannot be mixed or matched with military batteries. The 6TN and 6TL batteries will perform properly in bot weather as long as electrolyte levels are carefully monitored. If the electrolyte expands and causes the level to rise, some fluid must be removed. If tbe level becomes too low due to evaporation, distilled water may be used to obtain the proper level. A good grade of drinking water (excluding mineral water) may be used if distilled water is not available. 3/8 inch above top of plates. Check that battery caps are not loose. Electrolyte (NSNs 6810-00-249-9354 and 6810-00-843-1640) have a specific gravity of 1.280 and should be used in these batteries. Do NOT adjust the electrolyte in wet batteries to a lower specific gravity. (1) Fill batteries (6) with clean distilled water to a level of 3/8 inch above top of plates. In freezing weather, run engine a minimum of one hour after adding water. 3-12. GROUND ROD AND FUEL DRUM ADATPER HOLD-DOWN ASSEMBLY. a. Removal (see figure 3-9).
