5-1. Operating Cautions & Troubleshooting
Operating Cautions:
1. Warning:
a. The liquid in the battery is diluted sulfuric acid that is dangerous. If, your skin or eye

Therefore you should get it off and wash with water abundantly.
2. Check if electrolyte in the battery is sufficient. If not, add distilled water till the liquid level
reach the upper limit line.
3. The battery is rechargeable after discharging. If it is unused after discharge, it may
deteriorate and shorten service life. It will become less efficient. After usage of 2~3 years,
battery capacity will decrease. It can be regained by recharging several times.
4. When there is other loads while igniting, if the voltage will rise again after an abrupt falling,
it is normal.
5. If a battery is unused during a long time, its energy storage will decrease by its
auto-discharge. Therefore, a recharging is necessary around every 3 months.
6. To charge a battery, it shall be removed from the car and its filler plugs removed. To put
the charging current 'ON' or 'OFF', you must operate at the charger's switch. You shall not
