manufacturer when working with the battery.
This saw was shipped with a wet charged battery (Figure 22).
This battery may need to be charged for a brief period of time
as per the manufacturer instructions.
To install the battery on the saw, make sure that the battery is
properly clamped into the battery box. Connect the positive
cables to the positive terminals on the battery first, then connect
the negative cables to the negative terminals.
Figure 22. Battery and Battery Box
The 7060 uses two positive battery cables and
two negative battery cables. One set is for engine
start, and the other is for the raise/lower pump
assembly. Make sure that both sets of cables are
connected to the battery. Also, LIMIT the cycling
of the raise/lower system on battery power only.
Frequent cycling will diminish the life of the battery.
