Maintenance
CAUTION
!
● Keep it out of reach of children.
● Never disconnect the battery with the ignition
switch in the "ON" position; doing so could damage
the vehicle's electrical components.
● Never short-circuit the battery; doing so could cause
it to overheat and be damaged.
● If the battery is to be quick-charged, first disconnect
the battery cables.
● In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure to discon-
nect the negative (-) terminal first.
● Always wear protective eye goggles when working
near the battery.
● Do not bring nearby parts, plastic parts and so on
into contact with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte)
which may crack, stain or discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth, cham-
ois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral
detergent then immediately rinse the affected parts
with plenty of water.

NOTE
● Keep the terminals clean. After the battery is connected,
apply terminal protection grease. To clean the terminals,
use lukewarm water.
● Check to see if the battery is securely installed and cannot
be moved during travel. Also check each terminal for
tightness.
● When the vehicle is to be left unused for a long period of
time, remove the battery and store it in a place where the
battery fluid will not freeze. The battery should be stored
only in a fully charged condition.
