MAINTENANCE
When It is Impossible to Check Electrolyte Level from Side of Battery
If it is impossible to check the electrolyte level from the side of the battery, or there is no display of the UPPER
LEVEL line on the side of the battery, check as follows.
1. Open the engine rear cover and cooling cover. For details, see "COOLING COVER (PAGE 3-29)".
2. Remove cap (1) at the top of the battery, look through the water
filler port, and check the electrolyte surface. If the electrolyte
does not reach the sleeve, add distilled water so that the level
reaches the bottom of the sleeve (UPPER LEVEL line) without
fail.
Use the diagram below for reference, and check if the electrolyte reaches the bottom of the sleeve.
3. After adding distilled water, tighten cap (1) securely.
REMARK
If distilled water is added to above the bottom of the sleeve, use a syringe to lower the level to the bottom of the
sleeve. Neutralize the removed fluid with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), then flush it away with a large amount
of water or consult your Komatsu distributor or battery maker.
When It is Possible to Use Indicator to Check Electrolyte Level
If it is possible to use an indicator to check the electrolyte level, follow the instructions given.
