Maintenance
58
●
Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic
fluid as it can cause severe burns or per-
manent eye injury.
●
Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
●
SKIN - Flush with water.
●
EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
●
Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive hydro-
gen gas; therefore, you should always fol-
low these preventive measures:
●
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated ar-
ea.
●
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks, or
open flames (for example: welding
equipment, lighted cigarettes, and so
on.)
●
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC
FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
CAUTION:
ECM00360
●
A poorly maintained battery will quickly
deteriorate.
●
Ordinary tap water contains minerals
harmful to a battery, and should not be
used for topping up.
1. Check the electrolyte level at least once a
month. Fill to the manufacturer’s recom-
mended level when necessary. Top up
only with distilled water (or pure de-ion-
ized water suitable to use in batteries).
2. Always keep the battery in a good state of
charge. Installing a voltmeter will help
you monitor your battery. If you will not
use the boat for a month or more, remove
the battery from the boat and store it in a
cool, dark place. Completely recharge
the battery before using it.
3. If the battery will be stored for longer than
a month, check the specific gravity of the
fluid at least once a month and recharge
the battery when it is low.
NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer when charging or
re-charging batteries.
