While
you’re
cleaning
out
the battery box, make sure the
rubber pads on the access doors
are in place. The pads keep the
doors from touching the battery
clamps,
battery
posts
and
the
box’s support. Without the pads in
place, the batteries can short out.
Then your construction operations
come to an electrifying halt!
If a pad is torn or missing, your mechanic can replace it. NSN 9320-00-060-9363
brings a 24 x 24-in rubber sheet. Keep the pads in place with adhesive, NSN 8040-
00-142-9193. This NSN will bring you ten 1-oz bottles.
When you open the scraper’s battery box, remove any dirt or sand with low-
pressure air.
Any time the batteries are removed, eyeball the condition of the battery box. Mop
up any moisture you Fnd in the bottom of the box. It could lead to rust.
Your mechanic can use a wire brush to scrape off rust and loose paint. After
cleaning, protect the bare metal inside the box with bituminous coating compound,
