[7] CHECKING/REFILLING BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
• The electrolyte generates combustible gas and presents explosion hazard. Do not bring any
fire close to the electrolyte.
• The electrolyte is a hazardous substance. Avoid contact with eyes or skin. Should it come into
the contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected area with plenty of water and consult a
physician.
