--- Check that the electrolyte level comes about 5---10 mm
(0.2---0.4 in) over the battery cell plates.
--- Top up with distilled water if necessary.
--- Never top up the battery with acid only and never use a
naked flame when checking the electrolyte level.
NOTE: If the water in the battery evaporates too
quickly, it may be a sign that the charging voltage is
too high. Keep the outside of the battery clean and dry.
Protect the battery and cable terminals with special
grease.
NOTE: In winter it is very important to allow the engine
to run for a little while after topping up with distilled
water, otherwise the water can freeze before it has
mixed properly with the battery acid.
WARNING: Be carefully with the battery
solution---danger from corrosion!

Drain the prefilter (distributor pump models) by opening
the tap (1) a little in the bottom of the prefilter. By opening
the airscrew (2) in the upper part of the prefilter water
comes out easier. After draining water close the tap and
the airscrew.
Drain the prefilter more often if reguired.
Drain water from the fuel filter by opening the tap (4) in the
bottom of the filter. Close the tap.
Drain the fuel filter more often if reguired.
Bleed the fuel system if necessary, (see "Checks and
Adjustments on page 85).
