Checking Battery Condition
DANGER
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the instructions below.
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid
level is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark. Otherwise,
the battery component parts may prematurely deteriorate,
which may shorten the battery's service life or cause an
explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and add distilled
water as required so that the fluid level is between the
UPPER and LOWER levels.
CAUTION
• Never remove the vent plugs while the engine is running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothes. If you
are spattered with it, immediately wash it away completely
with water and get medical attention.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working
around the battery.
1. Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds to
maintenance costs.
2. Machine may have a maintenance free battery. If engine cranks
slowly or lights become dim; check and clean connections,
charge battery, and load test battery.
