CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
WARNING
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen
gas and contain electrolyte which is
made of poisonous and highly caustic
sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preven-
tive measures:
• Wear protective eye gear when han-
dling or working near batteries.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks
or open flames (e.g., welding equip-
ment, lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or
handling batteries.
• KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte
as it can cause severe burns or perma-
nent eye injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CON-
TACT:
EXTERNAL
• Skin – Wash with water.
• Eyes – Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
• Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg or vegetable oil. Get
immediate medical attention.
ACHTUNG:
CAUTION:
• This is a sealed battery. Never remove
the sealing caps because the balance
between cells will not be maintained
and battery performance will deterio-
rate.
• Charging time, charging amperage
and charging voltage for an MF bat-
tery are different from those of con-
ventional batteries. The MF battery
should be charged as explained in the
charging method illustrations. If the
battery is overcharged, the electrolyte
level will drop considerably. There-
fore, take special care when charging
the battery.
