Check the Battery Electrolyte Level
(Continued)
IMPORTANT
NEVER attempt to remove the covers or
fill a maintenance-free battery.
1. Do not operate with insufficient battery
electrolyte as the battery will be
destroyed.
2. Remove the plugs and check the
electrolyte level in all cells.
3. If the level is lower than the minimum fill
level (Figure 15, (1)) , fill with distilled
water (Figure 15, (2)) (available in the
grocery store) up to the upper limit
(Figure 15, (3)) of the battery.
Figure 15
Note: The maximum fill level is
approximately 10 - 15 mm
(3/8-9/16 in.) above the plates.
Note: Battery fluid tends to evaporate
in high temperatures, especially
in summer. In such conditions,
inspect the battery earlier than
specified.
