MAINTENANCE
Every 50 Hours
1. Open the battery cover.
2. Inspect the indicator (1).
Blue : Good
White : Charging needed
Red : Insufficient battery fluid
3. Inspect the fluid level.
The fluid level should be between the lines
indicating the upper level (H) and lower
level (L). If not, add distilled water up to
line (H).
�
If the fluid level can not be checked by
fluid level lines.
Remove the caps (2) and look into the fluid
supply holes to check the fluid level. If the fluid
is below the sleeve (3), be sure to add distilled
water up to the bottom edge of the sleeve (3).
Proper amount ...... (A)
The fluid reaches up to the bottom edge
of the sleeve (3), so the surface tension
causes the fluid to swell and the plate
appears distorted.
Level too low ......... (B)
The fluid does not reach up to the bottom
edge of the sleeve (3), so the plate appears
laminar, not distorted.
4. Also check the terminals for looseness
and dirt.
Replenishing
When adding distilled water, do so before
starting operations in order to prevent
freezing.
1. Remove the caps (2), and add distilled
water until the upper level (H).
2. Inspect the indicator (1) then it turns blue.
3. Clean the cap’s exhaust hole, then tighten
the caps (2) securely.
