Before charging:

only add dis-

tilled water if fluid is below the top
of the plates, and then add just
enough to cover plates.

l

After charging:

open the vent caps

and look inside the fill wells. Add
distilled water until the electrolyte
level is 3 mm (1/8") below the bot-
tom of the fill well. A piece of rubber
can be used safely as a dipstick to
help determine this level. Clean,
replace and tighten all vent caps.

Normal tap water contains 
minerals which are harmful to a
battery; therefore, refill only with
distilled water.

3.   Using a hydrometer, check the

specific gravity of the battery fluid
in each cell against the readings
on the chart below. Consult a
Yamaha dealer if any low readings
are found, or if readings vary more
than one point between cells.
