WARNING
contaminated part with a soaked
sponge on the way to a hospital if
possible.
●
If electrolyte contacts bare skin,
thoroughly rinse the contact
area. Seek medical assistance
immediately if you experience any
painful or burning sensations.
●
Electrolyte may seep in,
and contact the skin, if
they come into contact with
clothing. All contaminated
clothes must therefore be
removed immediately. Follow the
instructions above if needed.
●
If any electrolyte is swallowed,
drink a large amount of water or
milk. Milk with magnesium oxide,
crushed raw eggs, or vegetable oil
can also be ingested to alleviate
symptoms. Then, seek medical
assistance immediately.
●
Low-voltage battery may produce
combustible and explosive
hydrogen gas.
●
Prevent the low-voltage battery
from making sparks when using
tools.
●
Do not smoke or light 󽗊ames
near the low-voltage battery.
●
Electrolyte contains toxic and
corrosive sulfuric acid.
●
Avoid electrolyte contact with
eyes, skin or clothing.
●
Avoid accidentally swallowing
the electrolyte.
●
Wear safety glasses at all times
when working near the low-
voltage battery.
WARNING
●
Keep children away from the
low-voltage battery.
Checking the Low-Voltage Battery
Exterior
Check for corrosion, loose joints, cracks,
and loose pressing tools on the low-
voltage battery.
●
If the low-voltage battery is corroded,
use a lukewarm baking soda solution
to wash it. Apply lubricant to the
outside of the joint to prevent further
corrosion.
●
If the connector becomes loose,
tighten the clamp nut, but do not
overtighten it.
●
Tighten the pressing tool until it
securely 󽗉xes the low-voltage battery
in place. Over-tightening will damage
the low-voltage battery compartment.
CAUTION
●
Ensure the powertrain and all
auxiliary equipment are o󽗈 before
any maintenance.
●
When checking the low-voltage
battery, remove the ground cable
from the negative terminal (-) 󽗉rst,
and reconnect it last.
●
Try to avoid shorting electronic
components when using tools.
●
When cleaning the low-voltage
battery, make sure to prevent any
liquid entry.
Checking the Low-Voltage Battery
Interior
Inspect the low-voltage battery's internal
state by referencing the instructions on
the battery housing.
