Battery electrolyte:

The storage battery is located inside the storage battery cell below the cushion. The electrolyte

level should be kept between the upper level mark(UPPER LEVEL) and lower level mark(LOWER

LEVER) on the side of storage battery. If the electrolyte level is lower than the lower level

mark(LOWER LEVER), please take down the fluid feeding cap cover and use a small plastic

funnel to add the distilled water into the upper level mark (UPPER LEVEL).

Please make sure that the vent pipe is connected to the storage battery vent when checking the storage

battery plate and filling distilled water. Please do not bend or twist the vent pipe. Make sure the vent pipe

port is facing the ground, not facing the parts, otherwise the storage battery electrolyte may erode the

swinging arm and chains.

Only the distilled water can be used, using tap water will shorten the service life of storage battery.
