BATTERY
NOTICE
Battery is not included with this machine
The standard battery is a maintenance-free battery. It is
not necessary to supply battery fluid. In case of a sudden
voltage drop, the battery cannot be charged quickly, so it
has to be replaced with a new one.
Checking Battery Capacity
1. Check the battery checker on the hour tachometer
(Figure 32).

2. When the battery charge gets low, the battery checker
lights red.
NOTICE
If an old battery is used, even when the battery checker
is not lighted (indicating low charge), the cell starter
might not operate because of low charging level. If that
happens, change the battery with the new one.
Changing the Battery
1. Unlatch the two stoppers at the top portion of the rear
cover to open the rear cover (Figure 33).
