SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Single Cab Model
The battery is located almost exactly at the
centre of the outside chassis member.
Daily Check
Remove the battery cover and confirm
whether the level of fluid inside the battery
case is within the specified range.
The surface of the battery fluid should
be between the "UPPER LEVEL" and
"LOWER LEVEL" lines. If the surface of
the fluid cannot easily be seen, rock the
vehicle gently.
If no level marks are indicated on the case,
a range between 10 and 15 mm (0.39 to
0.59 inches) from the top of the battery
plates is considered appropriate.
Filling Battery Fluid
If the quantity of battery fluid inside the
battery is insufficient, remove the cover
and cap, and then add distilled water until
the surface is close to the "UPPER LEVEL"
mark or in a range between 10 and 15 mm
(0.39 to 0.59 inches) from the top of the
battery plates. When you have finished
adding the distilled water, securely install
the cap and battery cover.

ADVICE
Battery fluid should never be filled beyond the "UPPER LEVEL" line. Failure •
to observe this precaution can result in battery fluid spillage and corrosion of
battery terminals and other components. Any spilled battery fluid should be
immediately washed away with water.
Whenever battery fluid has been added, the battery should be recharged (by
•
driving the vehicle). In winter months in particular, battery fluid can freeze and
damage the battery case if you fail to recharge the battery.
If the battery fluid level continues to drop at an unusually fast rate, have an
•
inspection carried out immediately by the nearest Isuzu Dealer.
