INITIAL CHARGING

Filling electrolyte
• Remove the aluminum tape 1 sealing the battery electrolyte
filler holes A.
NOTE:
When filling electrolyte, the battery must be removed from the
vehicle and must be put on the level ground.
• Remove the caps 2.
NOTE:
* After filling the electrolyte completely, use the removed cap 2
as sealing caps of battery-filler holes.
* Do not remove or pierce the sealed areas 3 of the electrolyte
container.
• Insert the nozzles of the electrolyte container 4 into the bat-
tery's electrolyte filler holes, holding the container firmly so
that it does not fall.
NOTE:
Take precaution not to allow any of the fluid to spill.
• Make sure air bubbles 5 are coming up each electrolyte con-
tainer, and leave in this position for about more than 20 min-
utes.
