On generators equipped with acoustic suppression (ASK), remove batteries access door. (1) Inspect battery cable terminal connectors (2), (10) and (11) for corrosion, deterioration, or physical damage. Inspect battery terminal covers (12) for proper installation and physical condition. Replace if cracked, split or 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. Check to see that batteries are held securely in place and that all attaching hardware nut (7), washer (8), screw (14), washer (15) and bolt (9) are securely in place. Battery electrolyte can cause severe bums to the skin. Always flush exposed parts of the skin with water as quickly as possible. 3 - 8 Change 9 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 or the 6TL batteries will perform properly in hot 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 the 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 waters) may be used if distilled water is not available. 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. (4) Inspect battery (6) for leaks or cracks. Check top of battery and battery caps for cleanliness. Check battery electrolyte (liquid) level. Level s h o u l d be
