Battery Maintenance
Warning
Battery acid is corrosive and poisonous
and will cause damage to unprotected
skin. Never swallow battery acid or
allow it to come into contact with the
skin. To prevent injury, always wear
eye and skin protection when handling
the battery.
Clean the battery using a clean, dry
cloth. Make sure that the cable
connections are clean.
The battery is a sealed type and does
not require any maintenance other than
checking the voltage and routine
recharging when required, such as
during storage (see the following
paragraphs).
It is not possible to adjust the battery
acid level in the battery; the sealing
strip must not be removed.
