Battery
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the
instructions below.
A
Do not use or charge the refillable type battery
if the fluid level is below the LOWER (lower limit
level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component
parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may
shorten the battery's service life or cause an
explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and
add distilled water as required so that the fluid
level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels.
To avoid personal injury:
A Never remove the battery cap while the engine
is running.
A
Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and
clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it
away completely with water immediately and
get medical attention.
A
Keep open sparks and flames away from the
battery at all times. Hydrogen gas mixed with
oxygen becomes very explosive.
A
Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when
working around battery.
C Battery Charging
To avoid personal injury:
A When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
A
When charging the battery, ensure the vent
caps are securely in place. (if equipped)
A
When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal first.
When connecting the cable to the battery, start
with the positive terminal first.
A
Never check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
1. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery
positive terminal to the charger positive terminal and
the negative to the negative, then recharge in the
standard fashion.
2. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially
charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to
recharge the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
3. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use
battery of equal specification shown in table 1.
The factory-installed battery is of non-refillable type.
If the battery is weak, charge the battery or replace it
with new one.
