. OPERATION COLD WEATHER OPERATION Battery WARNING As the battery capacity drastically drops in low temperatures, cover or remove the battery from the machine, store the battery in a warm place, and install it again the next morning. If the electrolyte level is low, add distilled water in the morning before beginning work. Do not add water after the day's work to prevent diluted electrolyte in the battery from freezing during the night. 3 - 126 The ba ttery generates flammabl e gas.
