Every 50 Hours
Note: Under normal operating conditions,
the maintenance-free battery does not
require addition of water because of the
special plate designed to minimize fluid
loss. However, for those machines that
are heavily used or operated under severe
conditions (for example, in high ambient
temperature), the fluid level often becomes
low. If that is the case, check the fluid level of
the maintenance-free battery and add water
as needed.

1. Open the rear door.
2. Inspect the indicator (1).
• Blue: Charging complete
• White: OK
• Red / center White: Insufficient
battery fluid
• Red / center Red: Charging needed
3. Inspect the fluid level.
The fluid level should be between the lines
indicating the upper level (H) and lower
level (L). If not, add distilled water up to
line (H).
Inspecting the Battery Fluid Level
and Replenishing
DANGER
Do not use the battery when the fluid
level is below the lower level. Doing
so will hasten the deterioration of the
internal portions of the battery and
shorten the battery life, and can also
cause rupturing (or an explosion).
Batteries generate flammable and
explosive gases. Keep arcs, sparks,
flames and lighted tobacco away.
Use a dampened cloth to clean the area
of the fluid level lines and check the fluid
level. Note that if this area is cleaned
with a dry cloth, static electricity could
cause ignition or explosion.
WARNING
Do not fill the battery above the upper
level. Doing so could cause the fluid to
leak, contact and damage the skin, or
cause parts to corrode.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
will damage eyes or skin on contact.
• If acid contacts eyes, flush
immediately with clean water and get
prompt medical attention.
• If acid is accidentally swallowed,
drink large quantities of water or milk
and call a physician immediately.
• If acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
off immediately with clean water.
Inspection
IMPORTANT: Check the fluid level of all
cells, even when the fluid level can be
checked by indicator.
