BATTERY INSPECTION
NOTE:
Since the MF battery is a sealed type battery, it
is not possible to measure the specific gravity of
the electrolyte in order to check the charge state
of the battery. Therefore the charge of the bat-
tery has to be checked by measuring the volt-
age at the battery terminals.
CAUTION:
CHARGING METHOD
D This is a sealed type battery. Never re-
move the sealing caps. If the sealing caps
have been removed, the balance will not
be maintained and battery performance
will deteriorate.
D Charging time, charging current and
charging voltage for the MF battery are
different from those of batterie of general
type.
D The MF battery should be charged as ex-
plained in "CHARGING METHOD". if the
battery is overcharged, the electrolyte
level will drop considerably. Therefore,
take special care when charging the bat-
tery.
Battery electrolyte is dangerous; it contains
sulfuric acid which is poisonous and highly
caustic.
D Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
D Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
D Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
D SKIN-Flush with water.
D EYES-Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
D Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.
