2. If the electrolyte level is below the midway point between the
U.L. and L.L. lines, remove cap (1) and add distilled water to
the U.L. line.
3. After adding distilled water, tighten cap (1) securely.
REMARK
If distilled water is added to above the U.L. line, use a syringe to
lower the level to the U.L. line. Neutralize the removed fluid with
baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), then flush it away with a large
amount of water or consult your Komatsu distributor or battery
maker.
When it is impossible to check electrolyte level from side of battery
If it is impossible to check the electrolyte level from the side of the battery, or there is no display of the UPPER
LEVEL line on the side of the battery, check as follows.
1. Remove cap (1) at the top of the battery, look through the
water filler port, and check the electrolyte surface. If the elec-
trolyte does not reach the sleeve, add distilled water so that
the level reaches the bottom of the sleeve (UPPER LEVEL
line) without fail.
Use the diagram below for reference, and check if the electrolyte reaches the bottom of the sleeve.
2. After adding distilled water, tighten cap (1) securely.
