Refilling battery liquid
WARNING
•
The battery produces inflammable hydrogen
gas. It ignites or explodes if fire is nearby.
Never bring fire close to the battery or strike a
spark near it.
•
Never place any tool, metallic object or
inflammable matter on or near the battery.
The battery may possibly ignite and explode if it
short-circuits.
•
The battery liquid (diluted sulfuric acid) may
cause loss of eyesight or burning. If it is put
into the eyes or on the skin or clothes, wash
with much water immediately and consult a
doctor.
•
Be sure to put on protective goggles when
handing the battery.
Check the liquid level. Refill the battery with refill liquid up
to UPPER LEVEL, if it has lowered down to LOWER
LEVEL.
Cleaning the battery terminals
CAUTION
•
Be sure to keep the engine stopping during
work.
•
Be careful during work not to short-circuit the
positive and negative terminals of the battery
with a tool, etc.
•
Disconnect the battery cable from the negative
terminal first. Connect it to the negative
terminal last.
•
Tighten the terminals firmly.
1. Clean the terminals if they are dirty or corroded. (Pour
warm water onto the terminals and wipe them if they
are corroded and white powder sticks on them.)
2. Detach the terminals and polish them with a wire brush
or sandpaper if they are corroded remarkably.
3. Apply grease, etc. thinly to the terminals after cleaning
and tightening.
