Simple inspection and service
4. When reinstalling the battery, carry out these
steps in reverse, connecting the negative (–)
cable last.
CAUTION
Install the battery securely in position. If it is left
loose, shocks and vibrations from road surface
could damage the battery case and electrode
plates, shortening battery life.
3 Inspecting the battery
The battery’s charge level is indicated by color of
the indicator on the top surface.
The battery is correctly charged when the indicator
is blue. If the indicator is white, the battery is not
correctly charged and the battery fluid level should
be checked as follows:
1. If the battery fluid level is below the “LOWER
LEVEL” line , remove the 6 vent plugs and
add distilled water via the vent plug holes until
the battery fluid level is between the “UPPER
LEVEL” and “LOWER LEVEL” lines.
Replace the vent plugs and then charge the bat-
tery.
2. If the battery fluid level is correct, or between the
“UPPER LEVEL” and “LOWER LEVEL” lines,
simply recharge the battery.
Replace the battery if the indicator does not turn
blue after charging.
WARNING
Be sure to observe the following instructions
when storing a battery.
•
Select a storage place where the battery
fluid will not freeze.
•
The storage place must be free of any heat
source and well ventilated.
•
The battery must be kept out of reach of
children.
•
The battery must be placed with the termi-
nals facing upward. Do not place the bat-
tery on its side. Doing so could cause
battery fluid leakage and a fire.
