DANGER
The battery comes in two types: refillable and non-
refillable.
• For using the refillable type battery, follow the
instructions below.
Do not use or charge the battery if its fluid level
stands below the LOWER (lower limit level)
mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may
deteriorate earlier than expected, which may
shorten the battery's service life or cause an
explosion.
Immediately, add distilled water until the
battery's fluid level is between the UPPER and
LOWER levels.

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
• When charging the battery, remove the battery
vent plugs.
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal, and when
connecting them, start with the positive
terminal first.
• DO NOT check the battery charge by placing a
metal object across the terminals. Use a
voltmeter or hydrometer.
1. Make sure each electrolyte level is to the bottom of
vent wells, if necessary, add only distilled water in a
well-ventilated place.
