6. Checking the battery condition

DANGER
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the following
instructions.
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery
if the fluid level is below the [LOWER] (lower
limit level) mark. Otherwise, battery-component-
parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may
shorten the service life of battery or cause an
explosion.
• Check the fluid level regularly and add distilled
water as required so that the fluid level is
between the [UPPER] and [LOWER] levels.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Never remove the battery cap while the engine
is running.
• Keep the electrolyte away from eyes, hands,
and clothes. If you are spattered with the
electrolyte, wash it away completely with water
immediately and get medical attention.
• Keep open sparks and flames away from the
battery at all times. Hydrogen gas mixed with
oxygen becomes very explosive.
• Wear an eye protection and rubber gloves when
working around the battery.
Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and
adds to maintenance costs.
The original battery is maintenance free, but needs
some servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.
