BATTERY MAINTENANCE
.-------
-------
* Battery give off flammable fumes that can
explode.
* Do not smoke when observing the battery
electrolyte levels.
* Electrolyte
is
an
acid and can cause personal
injury if it contacts skin or eyes.
* If the electrolyte comes
in
contact with eyes,
wash it away with water and call for emergency
medical cure.
* Always wear protective glasses when working
with battery.
* Battery post, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

WHEN REQUIRED
1.
Cleanliness
Clean the battery surface. Keep the terminals
clean and coated with good quality grease.
Install the post cover after coating.
2.
Battery
Recharge
Battery should not be allowed to stand
in
a fully
discharged condition, but should
be
recharged
as soon as possible. If battery
is
out
of
use for a
long time, it must not be allowed to
run
down
completely.
The battery should be given a small recharge,
sufficient to bring it back to fully charged state
about
everyone
or two months.
Trickle charging
is
not recommend and during
charging as before, care must be taken that
temperature
of
electrolyte does not rise above
40°C for temperate climates and 52°C for
battery using lower gravity acids specified for
tropical use.
3.
Inspection
Inspect the electrolyte level look at the indicator
or sight level line
on
the battery.

level line with distilled water when required. If
any electrolyte
is
spilled, replace it with fresh
