DANGER:
To avoid the possibility of battery
explosion:
The battery comes in two types:
refillable and non-refillable. For
using the refillable type battery,
follow the instructions below.
¡
DO NOT use or charge the
battery if its fluid level stands
below the LOWER (lower limit
level) mark.

1. Keep the battery clean and dry. Keep terminals and
holes of vent plugs free from corrosion and dirt.
2. Check the electrolyte level frequently when the
battery is in service. Add distilled water only to
the upper level when electrolyte diminishes. Do
not add diluted sulfuric acid.
3. Make sure to charge the battery once a month,
because the capacity is decreased by discharge
even when it is not in service.
4. Keep sparks and flame away, because battery
produces explosive gases.
