Maintenance
3) Inspection of Battery
1. Inspect battery liquid level. If lower than "LOWER" mark a ,
add distilled water until the level goes in between "UPPER"
and "LOWER" marks.
2. Measure specific gravity of battery liquid. Charge battery if
specific gravity is less than specified value.
Electrolyte contains sulfuric acid that is poisonous
and highly corrosive, which is dangerous. Always be
careful of the following matters to prevent accident.
· Handle electrolyte carefully not to allow adherence to
any part of body, or it could cause serious chemical
burn or blindness.
· Wear protective glasses when working near battery
or handling battery.
First Aid in Emergency (if electrolyte adheres to body):
