Checking the charge state of a maintenance-free battery
The charge indicator on the battery shows the state of
charge of the battery.
If the colour is:
• Green; the charge is correct.
• Black; insufficient charge. Recharge the battery until
the indicator turns green.
• Transparent (colourless); replace the battery as soon
as possible.

Checking the electrolyte level of a maintenance-type battery
Remove the cell caps and check the level in each batteries
cell. The level should be between
10 mm ( 0.4 in ) and
15 mm ( 0.6 in ) above the plates. Add distilled water if
necessary, then install the cell caps.
ATTENTION: When adding distilled water at tempera-
tures below 0 °C ( 32.0 °F ), the batteries must be charged
or the engine run for two hours approximately in order
to ensure that the distilled water and the electrolyte are
properly mixed.
NOTE: Make sure the battery terminals are clean and
coated with grease and that the cables are properly tight-
ened.
