Bulk electrolyte with 1.265 specific gravity must be
purchased from a local battery supply outlet.
Warning
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.

Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid
which is a deadly poison and causes severe
burns.
Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety
glasses to shield your eyes and rubber gloves
to protect your hands.
Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
Follow all instructions and comply with all
safety messages on the electrolyte container.
1. Remove the battery from the machine. Refer
to Removing the Battery.
2. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
Note: Never fill the battery with electrolyte
while the battery is installed on the machine.
Electrolyte can be spilled on other parts and
cause corrosion.
3. Remove the vent caps from the battery
(Figure 13).
4. Slowly pour electrolyte into each battery cell
until the level is up to the upper line on the
battery case.
Important: Do not overfill the battery
because electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can
cause severe corrosion and damage to the
chassis.
5. Wait five to ten minutes after filling the battery
cells. Add electrolyte, if necessary, until the
electrolyte level is up to the upper line on the
battery case.
