BATTERY

The MF battery used in this vehicle does not require mainte-
nance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled water replen-
ishment).
During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced. How-
ever, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced. Therefore, be sure there are no fire or spark sources
(e.g., short circuit) nearby when charging the battery.
Be sure to recharge the battery in a well-ventilated and open
area.
Note that the charging system for the MF battery is different
from that of a conventional battery. Do not replace the MF
battery with a conventional battery.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY

When disconnecting terminals from the battery for disassem-
bly or servicing, be sure to disconnect the - battery lead
wire, first.
When connecting the battery lead wires, be sure to connect
the + battery lead wire, first.
If the terminal is corroded, remove the battery, pour warm
water over it and clean it with a wire brush.
After connecting the battery, apply a light coat of grease to the
battery terminals.
Install the cover over the + battery terminal.

WIRING PROCEDURE

Properly route the wire harness according to the WIRING
HARNESS ROUTING section. (!9-11 to -14)

USING THE MULTI CIRCUIT TESTER

Properly use the multi circuit tester + and - probes.
Improper use can cause damage to the vehicle and tester.
If the voltage and current values are not known, begin mea-
suring in the highest range.
When measuring the resistance, make sure no voltage is
applied. If voltage is applied, the tester will be damaged.
After using the tester, be sure to turn the switch to the OFF
position.

Before using the multi circuit tester, read its instruc-
tion manual.
