Important
When adding distilled water, be careful not to
add an excessive amount.
Inspection of the electrolyte level and
addition of distilled water
Check the electrolyte level by looking from
the side of the battery.
If the electrolyte level has fallen to less than
halfway between the
“ UPPER ” (maximum
level line) and
“
LOWER
”
(minimum level
line) limits, add distilled water to the battery
immediately until the
“
UPPER
”
limit is
reached.
When adding distilled water, loosen and
remove the vent plug and add distilled
water up to the
“
UPPER
”
(maximum level
line) limit.
After adding distilled water, firmly tighten
the vent plug.

Replacement of Battery
When replacing the battery, note the following
precautions and be sure to turn off the power
switch etc., stop the engine, and remove the
key before replacement.
Danger Danger
Do not replace the battery near open flames
or in a poorly ventilated area. Keep the
battery away from lit cigarettes and other
open flames.
Failure to observe these precautions could
cause a fire or explosion.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
If the positive and negative terminals are
connected to each other by a metallic tool,
the battery will short-circuit. And a short-
circuit will also result if the positive terminal
contacts another metallic part (machine body
etc.).
When connecting a machine-side cable
terminal to a battery terminal, ensure that the
nut is firmly tightened.
A loose nut could cause a fire or explosion.
Warning
When connecting the machine-side cable
terminals to the battery, ensure that they are
correctly connected to the positive and
negative terminals.
Secure the battery firmly with the mounting
bracket.
Failure to do so could cause damage to the
battery, leakage of the electrolyte, fire or
explosion.
Do not modify the battery terminals.
Ensure that the vent plug or vent hole on the
side of the battery is not covered by the
connection cables etc.
Do not connect any electrical devices directly
to the battery.
