B Checking Battery Condition
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 serious injury or death:
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.
To avoid serious injury:
A Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
and other chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. WASH HANDS
AFTER HANDLING.
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.
(A) 17 ramp The factory-installed battery is of non-refillable type.
If the battery is weak, charge the battery or replace it
with new one.
