SERVICE PROCEDURE
WHEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHECK ELECTROLYTE LEVEL FROM SIDE OF BATTERY
If it is impossible to check the electrolyte level from the side of the battery, or there is no display of the UPPER
LEVEL line on the side of the battery, check as follows.
1. Remove cap (1) at the top of the battery, look through the water
filler port, and check the electrolyte surface. If the electrolyte
does not reach the sleeve, add distilled water so that the level
reaches the bottom of the sleeve (UPPER LEVEL line) without
fail.
Use the diagram below for reference, and check if the electrolyte reaches the bottom of the sleeve.
2. After adding distilled water, tighten cap (1) securely.
REMARK
If water is added to above the bottom tip of the sleeve, use a pipette to remove electrolyte. Neutralize the removed
electrolyte with sodium bicarbonate, then flush it away with a large amount of water. If necessary, contact your
Komatsu distributor or your battery maker.
WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE INDICATOR TO CHECK ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
If it is possible to use an indicator to check the electrolyte level, follow the instructions given.
