This would mean that the cells were filled too high above water lines.
5. Engine cranks slowly but does not fire.
This would indicate over-discharged battery. Explain to user how to start plant under this condition.
6. Plant will not crank.
This might be caused by
(a) Blown battery fuse. (b) Battery over-discharged. (c) Loose or broken connection on battery or switchboard.
OTHER EXIDE FARM LIGHTING BATTERIES
The Exide type is shown in Figure 296. The plates are held in position both by the cover and by soft rubber support pieces in the bottom of the jar. The support pieces are provided with holes in which projections on the bottom of the plates are inserted. The cover is of heavy moulded glass. The separators are of grooved wood in combination with a slotted rubber sheet (Fig. 297). The strap posts are threaded and are clamped to the cover by means of alloy nuts. The cover overlaps the top of the jar to which it is sealed with sealing compound. The method of sealing and unsealing is practically the same as in the Exide Delco-Light Type.
