3. If the battery electrolyte level is below the mid point between
the UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL, immediately remove
cap (3) and add distilled water (or commercially available
battery filler solution) to the UPPER LEVEL.
4. After adding distilled water, tighten cap (3) 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 hook (1), then open inspection cover (2).
2. Remove cap (3) at the top of the battery and look through the
filler port to check the electrolyte level. If the electrolyte is not
up to the sleeve, immediately add distilled water (or
commercially available battery filler solution) to the bottom of
the sleeve (UPPER LEVEL).
