Cleaning the exterior
Use a wet cloth for cleaning.
Inspect the vent plugs or vent holes on the
side of the battery, and if they are blocked
by dirt wash them with water to remove the
blockage.
Continuing to use the battery with the vent
holes blocked may cause the battery to
rupture from increased internal pressure
due to gases generated inside the battery.
Inspecting the mounting bracket
Inspect whether the battery is secured
firmly with the mounting bracket.
If the bracket is loose, tighten the mounting
bracket nuts until the battery is secured
firmly.
An improperly mounted battery may cause
damage to the battery case or electrolyte
leaks due to the battery moving with
vibrations while traveling.
Inspecting the cable terminals
If the connection between the battery
terminals and vehicle's cable terminals are
loose, tighten the nuts until the cable
terminals are secured firmly.
Insufficiently tightened terminals may result
in poor battery charging, damage to the
terminals due to poor contacts, or an
explosion.
If the terminals are corroded, rub them
clean with a wire brush or fine grit
sandpaper, and lightly apply anti-rust
grease.
Inspecting the electrolyte level and refilling
Warning
When refilling, do not fill purified water above
the UPPER LEVEL line.
Doing so may result in electrolyte leaks.
Check the electrolyte level from the side of
the battery, and refill if the level is lower
than halfway between the UPPER LEVEL
and LOWER LEVEL lines.
Refill by loosen and remove the vent plugs,
and filling with purified water up to the
UPPER LEVEL line.
Tighten the vent plugs firmly after refilling.

Replacement of Battery
Important
Be careful when handling the used battery as
it still contains electrical energy.
Always follow the procedures for
disconnecting and connecting the positive and
negative cables.
Failure to do so will cause a short circuit in the
battery.
The battery terminal positions and mounting
brackets may vary depending on the model.
Pay careful attention when installation and
removal.
Removing the Old Battery
Stop the engine, and then remove the
key.
Disconnect the negative side cable
(black), and move it to a position where it
cannot make contact with the battery
terminal.
Disconnect the positive side cable (red).
Loosen the battery mounting bracket and
remove the old battery.
