Battery

1. Battery
This model is equipped with a VRLA
(Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery.
There is no need to check the electro-
lyte or to add distilled water. However,
the battery lead connections need to
be checked and, if necessary, tight-
ened.
WARNING
● Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes se-
vere burns. Avoid any contact
with skin, eyes or clothing and
