8-6. Checking the Battery
CAUTION : EYE/SKIN INJURY
Wear rubber gloves and other protective wear to protect eyes, skin and
clothing from the battery fluid which contains diluted sulfuric acid. If the
battery fluid contacts eyes or skin, wash out immediately with a large amount
of water. Be sure to receive medical treatment, especially if the fluid contacts
the eyes.
CAUTION : EXPLOSION
Never use or recharge the battery if the fluid level is below the minimum
level.
Do not create sparks or bring flame near the battery as it generates
flammable gas.
Check the fluid level, and add distilled water

when it is near the lower level until it
reaches the upper level.
Check the terminals for looseness and

tighten if loose.
< Note >
It is necessary to recharge the battery when the specific gravity of the battery fluid is 1.23 or
