Inspecting the Battery Fluid Level
and Replenishing
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Do not use the battery when the fluid
level is below the lower level. Doing so
will hasten the deterioration of the
internal portions of the battery and
shorten the battery life, and can also
cause rupturing (or an explosion).

¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Batteries generate flammable and
explosive gases. Keep arcs, sparks,
flames and lighted tobacco away.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Use a dampened cloth to clean the area
of the fluid level lines and check the
fluid level. Note that if this area is
cleaned with a dry cloth, static
electricity could cause ignition or
explosion.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Do not fill the battery above the upper
level. Doing so could cause the fluid
to leak, contact and damage the skin,
or cause parts to corrode.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
will damage eyes or skin on contact.
• If acid contacts eyes, flush
immediately with clean water and get
prompt medical attention.
• If acid is accidentally swallowed,
drink large quantities of water or milk
and call a physician immediately.
• If acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
off immediately with clean water.
