Battery electrolyte check
1. The battery electrolyte should be between the
upper and lower levels (10 to 15 mm from the
top of the plates).
2. If the electrolyte level is below the lower
level, remove the cap and add distilled water to
the upper level through the water inlet port.
Caution
Be sure to use distilled water for battery elec-
trolyte. Also, wear protective glasses when
working on the battery.

ground with the control lever in the neutral po-
sition and the engine idling.

and the forks are lowered to the ground.
2. Open the engine hood and remove the toe-
board.
3. Extract the level gauge and wipe it with clean
cloth.
4. Insert the level gauge back to the hole from
which it is removed, and extract it again to check
if the oil level is between the F and L lines on
the level gauge.
Note: Check oil against COLD when it is not
warm (if desire so before start operating the ve-
hicle); check oil against HOT when it remains
warm (if desire so after start operating).
5. If the level is near or below the L line, add
oil to the F line.
