Battery Electrolyte Level Check (Canadian Model) - Honda HSM1336i Owner's Manual

Battery Electrolyte Level Check (Canadian model)

1. Remove the rear cover (see page 96) and check whether the battery
electrolyte is between the upper and lower levels.
If the battery electrolyte is near or below the lower level, add the
distilled water to the upper level.
2. Remove the batteries (see page 96).
Remove the caps of the battery, and then fill the battery with distilled
water to the upper level line. Never overfill the battery.
• Use only distilled water in the battery. Tap water will shorten the
service life of the battery.
• Do not fill the battery beyond the UPPER LEVEL. If overfilled,
electrolyte may overflow and corrode snow blower components.
Immediately wash off any spilled electrolyte.
Any corrosion around the positive
and negative terminals should be
washed off with a solution of baking
soda and warm water.
Dry the terminals and retighten the
terminal bolts if necessary, and then
coat the terminals with grease.
3. After checking the electrolyte level,
reinstall the batteries (see page 98).
