Checking the Battery Electrolyte Level
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which
is a deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety
glasses to shield your eyes and rubber gloves
to protect your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
1. Look at the side of the battery. The electrolyte must
be up to the upper line (Figure 50). Do not allow the
electrolyte to fall below the Lower line (Figure 50).
