MAINTENANCE
CHECK LEVEL OF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
Carry out this procedure before operating the machine.
Do not use the battery if the battery electrolyte level is below the LOWER LEVEL line. This will accelerate deterioration of the
inside of the battery and reduce the service life of the battery. In addition, it may cause an explosion.
The battery generates flammable gas and there is danger of explosion, do not bring fire or sparks near the battery.
Battery electrolyte is dangerous. If it gets in your eyes or on your skin, wash it off with a large amount of water and consult a
doctor.
When adding distilled water to the battery, do not allow the battery electrolyte to go above the UPPER LEVEL line. If the
electrolyte level is too high, it may leak and cause damage to the paint surface or corrode other parts.
NOTICE
If there is a fear that the battery water may freeze after refilling with purified water (e.g. commercially available replenishment water
for a battery), do the replenishment before the day's work on the next day.
Inspect the battery electrolyte level at least once a month and follow the basic safety procedures given below.
REMARK
When replacing the battery, lift the battery cover with a three- point sling, using a small-sized crane.
Open battery cover (1) on the left side of the machine.
