CHECKING BATTERY VOLTAGE
HANDLING OF BATTERY
• Wear protective glasses, long-sleeve shirt and gloves when handling the batteries.
• Do not bring a fire near the battery because the combustible hydrogen gas generated by the battery can cause
explosion.
• If the dilute sulfuric acid in the battery splashes onto your skin or into your eyes, it will cause burns or blindness.
At such case, immediately wash the skin or eyes with sufficient clean water, and ask a special doctor to treat it as
soon as possible.
• Before performing inspection and maintenance on the batteries, be sure to stop the engine and set the battery
power-off switch to the "OFF" position.
• When removing the battery terminal be sure to remove the ground side (negative terminal) first and conversely,
when attaching the battery terminal, attach the ground side last.
• Do not put tools and hardware on the protective cover on the battery upper section. It may cause a short circuit
resulting in a fire or explosion.
Before turning the battery power-off switch to the "O (OFF)" position or removing the terminal of the battery, turn the
starter switch to the "OFF" position and wait 5 minutes or more.
If the battery power is turned off immediately after stopping the engine, it may cause damage to the exhaust gas
cleaning device.
• Clean the battery terminals and apply grease or commercial anti-rust lubricant spray.
• Do not dispose of the battery by yourself but always ask a professional service company to dispose of it.
• If the batteries became old, do not attempt to use the old battery and a new battery together. The service life of
the new battery may be shortened. When replacing the batteries, replace the both at the same time.
