Wear protective glasses, long-sleeve shirt and
rubber gloves when handling or servicing
batteries.
Battery electrolyte contains dilute sulfuric acid. If
battery electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, flush
affected areas immediately with a large amount
of fresh water because it may cause blindness
and burns and seek medical attention.
・
Batteries give off hydrogen gases that can
explode and cause personal injury.
Definitely keep open flames and cigarettes
away from batteries.
・
Keep all ventilation caps tightly secured.
・
Be sure to connect the terminals securely.
・
When charging the battery, remove it from
the machine and remove the ventilation
caps to allow gas to escape in a
well-ventilated area.
・
Do not charge the frozen battery
because it could explode. To prevent the
explosion, heat it up until the battery
temperature becomes 16 degrees C or
higher.
・
Do not use or charge the battery of which
the battery electrolyte level is lower than
the lower limit. This might cause
explosion. Check the battery electrolyte
level periodically, and make up the loss
with distilled water to the proper limit of the
electrolyte level.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
・
Always disconnect the negative (-) cable first when disconnecting the battery cables. On the
contrary, always connect the positive (+) cable first when reconnecting the battery cables.
・
Never put tools between the battery positive (+) terminal and the machine. The short circuit and
spark will occur.
・
Do not mistake in the jumper cable connection.
Never connect the positive (+) terminal to the negative(-) terminal. Finally, connect the negative (-)
terminal to the upper frame of the machine.
See "USING JUMPER CABLES" in Chapter 3 for the starting procedures of using jumper cables.
