ADDING DISTILLED WATER (MAINTE-
NANCE TYPE BATTERY ONLY)

1. Remove the vent plugs.
2. Add distilled water to cells needing

fluid.
If the side of your battery is covered,
check the water level by looking down
directly above the cell as illustrated
above.

3. Retighten the vent plugs securely.

NOTICE

Do not overfill the cells. Excess
electrolyte could squirt out of the
battery during heavy charging,
causing corrosion or damage.

During recharging, the battery is pro-
ducing hydrogen gas.

Therefore, before recharging:
1. Maintenance type batteries—Remove

the vent plugs.

2. If recharging with the battery installed

on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.

3. Be sure the power switch on the re-

charger is off when connecting the
charger cables to the battery and
when disconnecting them.

Always charge the battery in an
unconfined area. Do not charge
the battery in a garage or closed
room where there is not sufficient
ventilation.

Non-maintenance batteries: Only
do a slow charge (5A or less).
Charging at a quicker rate is dan-
gerous. The battery may explode,
causing personal injuries.
Maintenance type batteries: Be
sure to remove the vent plugs be-
fore recharging.

CAUTION

Battery recharging precautions
