WARNING
• Do not use the battery if the battery electrolyte level is below LOWER LEVEL line.
If you do so, it will reduce the service life of the battery. In addition, it may cause an explosion.
• Do not bring any open flame near the battery. Otherwise, it may explode since the battery generates
the flammable gas.
• Battery electrolyte is dangerous object.
If it gets in your eyes or on your skin, wash it off with a large amount of water and consult a doctor.
• Do not use a dry wipe to clean the battery. A wet wipe will prevent fire or explosion from static elec-
tricity.
NOTICE
• Do not add the electrolyte to the battery exceeding UPPER LEVEL line.
If the electrolyte level is too high, it may leak and cause damage to the paint surface or corrode oth-
er parts.
• If there is a fear that the battery water may freeze after refilling with purified water (such as a com-
mercial battery fluid), do the replenishment before the day's work on the next day.
Perform this procedure before operating the machine.
Inspect the battery electrolyte level according to the standard at least once a month.
