BATTERY
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte
contact your body or clothing.
A
Wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since
the diluted sulfuric acid solution burns skin
and eats holes in clothing. Should this occur,
immediately wash it off with running water and
get medical attention.
Mishandling of the battery shortens the service life and
adds to maintenance costs. Obtain the maximum
performance and the longest life of the battery by handling
properly and with care.
Engine starting will be more difficult, if the battery charge
is low. Be careful to recharge it at an early occasion before
it is too late.
B
Battery charging
The battery comes in two types: refillable and non-
refillable.
A
For using the refillable type battery, follow the
instructions below.
Do not use or charge the battery if its fluid level
stands below the LOWER (lower limit level)
mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may
deteriorate earlier than expected, which may
shorten the battery's service life or cause an
explosion.
Immediately, add distilled water until the
battery's fluid level is between the UPPER and
LOWER levels.
To avoid personal injury:
A
When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
A
When charging the battery, remove the battery
vent plugs.
A
When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal, and when
connecting them, start with the positive
terminal first.
A
DO NOT check the battery charge by placing a
metal object across the terminals. Use a
voltmeter or hydrometer.
1. Make sure each electrolyte level is to the bottom of
vent wells, if necessary, add only distilled water in a
well-ventilated place.
2. To slow charge the battery, connect the charger
positive terminal to the battery positive terminal, and
the negative to the negative, then recharge in the
standard fashion.
3. Quick recharging charges the battery at a high rate in
a short time. This is only for emergencies.
4. Recharge the battery as early as possible, or battery
life will be extremely shortened.
5. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use
battery of equal specification shown in
