Battery electrolyte check
1. The battery electrolyte should be between
the upper and lower levels (10 to 15 mm
from the top of the plates).
2. If the electrolyte level is below the lower
level, remove the cap and add distilled
water to the upper level through the water
inlet port.
Caution Caution
Be sure to use distilled water for battery
electrolyte. Also, wear protective glasses
when working on the battery.
Torque converter oil inspection
1. Park the vehicle at a safe and level
ground, and stop the engine.
Caution Caution
Inspect with the parking brake pedal
engaged and the forks are lowered to the
ground.
2. Open the engine hood and remove the toe
board.
3. Extract the level gauge and wipe it with
clean cloth.
4. Insert the level gauge back to the hole
from which it is removed, and extract it
again to check if the oil level is between
the F and L lines on the level gauge.
Note:
• Perform inspections using the COLD side
of the level gauge before operating the
vehicle.
• The level gauge contains the inscriptions
"COLD" and "HOT" on either side. Con-
duct inspections using the "COLD" side
before operating the vehicle and when the
oil temperature is 40° or under. If you have
operated the vehicle and the oil temperature
is 60° or over, use the "HOT" side to con-
duct inspections after 30 seconds and
within five minutes after the engine is
stopped.
5. If the level is near or below the L line,
add oil to the F line.
