BATTERY INSPECTION
1. Fill:
S
Never remove the sealing sheet (alumini-
um seal) from the battery until the battery is
filled with electrolyte.
If battery plates are exposed to air, they will
oxidize. As a result, power will not be gen-
erated as specified.
S
Add electrolyte so that its level is correct
as specified.
An incorrect electrolyte level has an ad-
verse effect on battery performance.
The quantity of electrolyte varies with the
type of the electrolyte container. Use only
the amount of electrolyte in the container
which comes with the battery.
S
Avoid using any electrolyte other than spe-
cified.
The specific gravity of the MF battery elec-
trolyte is 1.320 (68
_
F, 20
_
C). (the specific
gravity of the general type battery electro-
lyte is 1.280.)
If the electrolyte whose specific gravity is
less than 1.320, the sulfuric acid will de-
crease and thus low battery performance
will result.
Should any electrolyte, whose specific
gravity is 1.320 or more, be used, the bat-
tery plates will corrode and battery life will
shorten.
a. Place the battery on a level surface.
b. Remove the sealing sheet 1 .

c. Take the electrolyte container out of the vi-
nyl bag.
d. Detach the strip of caps (used as battery
plugs)

4 Six sealed areas of container
Do not lose the strip of caps because it will be
used as battery plugs.
Do not peel or pierce the sealed areas.
