If the level is lower than the lower line,
add distilled water. (See "ADDING

NOTICE
• Be sure the engine and all accesso-
ries are off before performing main-
tenance.
• When checking the battery, remove
the ground cable from the negative
terminal ("_" mark) first and rein-
stall it last.

cuit with tools.
• Take care
no
solution gets into the
battery when washing it.
Do not overfill the cells. Excess elec-
trolyte could squirt out of the battery
during heavy charging, causing corro-
sion or damage.
