Inspection of Battery
Danger
Danger
Keep away from fire while inspecting or
charging the battery.
The battery may explode.
Caution
Implement after the engine and muffler etc.
have well cooled down.
Otherwise, you may get burned.
Important
Be sure to stop the engine before inspecting
or charging the battery.
Battery inspection items are described below.
Inspecting the exterior
Visually inspect the exterior of the battery,
and check that there are no cracks, splits,
missing sections, or abnormal deformation
in the battery case, and that there is no
electrolyte leaking.

Cleaning the exterior
Use a wet cloth for cleaning.
Inspect the vent plugs or vent holes on the
side of the battery, and if they are blocked
by dirt wash them with water to remove the
blockage.
Continuing to use the battery with the vent
holes blocked may cause the battery to
rupture from increased internal pressure
due to gases generated inside the battery.
Inspecting the mounting bracket
Inspect whether the battery is secured
firmly with the mounting bracket.
If the bracket is loose, tighten the mounting
bracket nuts until the battery is secured
firmly.
An improperly mounted battery may cause
damage to the battery case or electrolyte
leaks due to the battery moving with
vibrations while traveling.
Inspecting the cable terminals
If the connection between the battery
terminals and vehicle's cable terminals are
loose, tighten the nuts until the cable
terminals are secured firmly.
Insufficiently tightened terminals may result
in poor battery charging, damage to the
terminals due to poor contacts, or an
explosion.
If the terminals are corroded, rub them
clean with a wire brush or fine grit
sandpaper, and lightly apply anti-rust
grease.
