• Battery fluid (diluted sulfic acid) is corrosive and causes severe burns. Be
extremeley cautious when handling battery fluid. If battery fluid is spilt on
clothes, immediately rinse with plenty of water. If spilt on skin or in an eye,
immediately rinse with plenty of water and promptly consult a physician.
• Never use or charge battery when the fluid level is below the lower limit.
Charging battery with insufficient fluid may shorten battery life or cause an
explosion.
• Never fill battery fluid beyond the upper limit. Battery fluid may spill and cause
damage to the machine or personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, and connect the positive (+)
terminal first. Disconnecting or connecting in the opposite order may cause a
short circuit.
• When installing the battery, make certain to connect the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals to their respective original positions. Avoid contact
between terminals and other surrounding parts.
• Use wet cloth to clean battery. Dry cloth may generate static electricity, which
may cause explosion.
• Do not touch terminals. Electric shock may occur.
• Always remove battery from the machine before charging. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the electrical components and wiring.
• Follow the battery charger user's manual when charging.
