Before recharging

When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable
and explosive. Therefore, before recharging:
●
If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to discon-
nect the ground cable.
●
Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and
disconnecting the charger cables to the battery.
Check that the level is between
the upper line and the lower line.

If the fluid level is at or below the
lower line, add distilled water.
