MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE UTV
- 122-
WARNING
:
• This is a sealed battery. Never remove the
sealing caps because the balance between
cells will not be maintained and battery
performance will deteriorate.
• Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are
different from those of conventional
batteries. The MF battery should be charge
as explained in the charging metho
illustrations. If the battery is overcharged,
the electrolyte level will drop considerably.
• Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.
NOTE:
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not
possible to check the charge state of the
battery by measuring the specific gravity o
the electrolyte. Therefore, the charge of the
battery has to be checked by measuring the
voltage at the battery terminals.
1. Remove:
• Lift the hood up.
