①
Checking battery charging level
If the battery is not used for over
two weeks, it may become hard
to start the engine. Charge the
battery in this case.
The exact charging level can be
measured with a hydrometer or
through a certain test.
② Check that the electrolyte level
is between the upper and lower
limits. If insufficient, add battery
acid to the upper level.
③ If the battery terminal is cor-
roded, it cannot deliver current.
If it is corroded or contaminat-
ed, wipe it with sandpaper or a
brush.
