BATTERY HANDLING
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
• It is dangerous to recharge the battery while
mounted in the machine. Be sure to remove
it from the machine and recharge it
separately.
• Stop the engine and turn the starter switch
to the "OFF" position when
checking/handling the battery.
• Wipe off any dust accumulated on the top of
the battery with a moistened cloth.
• The battery produces hydrogen gas, which
carries the risk of explosion. Keep naked
flames, including cigarettes, away from the
battery, and avoid any actions that could
cause sparks.
• The battery fluid is diluted sulphuric acid,
which corrodes clothes and skin.
Should the battery fluid come into contact
with your clothes or skin, wash the affected
area immediately with plenty of fresh water.
If it gets in your eyes, wash immediately
with clean water and seek medical attention.
• Wear goggles and rubber gloves when
handling the battery.
• Disconnect the ground side (normally (-)
terminal) first when removing the battery
cable, and conversely, connect the (+)
terminal first when installing the battery
cable.
Objects such as tools coming between the
(+) terminal and the machine body will
cause sparks, which is dangerous.
• Loose battery terminals can cause sparks
due to poor contact, causing an explosion
hazard. Tighten securely when installing the
terminals.
• Secure the battery when changing it to
prevent it from moving. If it is not secured,
there is a danger of the terminals becoming
loose, causing sparks.
• Check the (+) terminal and (-) terminal when
removing and installing the battery cable.
