34) Inspection of Battery
1.
Inspect the electrolyte level. If it is lower than the "LOW"
mark a, add distilled water until the level is between the
"UP" and "LOW" marks.
2.
Measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Fully
charge the battery if the specific gravity is less than the
specified value.
The battery produces highly inflammable
hydrogen gas.
• Charge the battery in a well-ventilated
place.
• Do not allow smoking when handling or
charging battery. Keep the battery away
from sparks and fire.
• D o n o t c h a r g e t h e b a t t e r y w h e n t h e

differ depending on the manufacturer. If you
have any doubts or questions, refer to the
manual attached to the battery as well.
• When removing the battery, disconnect the
negative lead first followed by the positive lead.
