maintenance free battery. Battery fluid level
check or refill are not required. Keep the
battery terminals free of dirt and corrosion.

sparks.
 Battery fluid is diluted sulphuric acid.

The battery is fully sealed.
 No need to remove the cap even
when charging.
 "Jump starting" a flat battery may
cause damage to the battery plates

highly corrosive and can cause severe
burns if it comes in contact with the eyes
or skin.
 Wear protective goggles and clothing
when working near the battery.
 Keep the battery out of reach of

Emergency Treatment
 If the electrolyte gets in the eyes:
 Flush with water from a glass for at

skin with plenty of water.
