terminals.
– To check the charge status always use a voltmeter or a densimeter. If it is necessary to check the
electrolytelevel,useaflashlight,neveraflame.
– Neverplaceametalobjectbetweentheterminalstocheckthebatterycharge.

completelyexhaustedduetoprolongeddisuseorbecauseattheendofitslifethealternatorloosesits
capacityto"regenerate".Thebatterymustbereplacedandrechargedusingaspecialbatterychargertool.
