13. BATTERY
Danger:
・ The battery generates very explosive gases, so avoid
smoking and keep sparks and open flames away from
the battery. Charging the battery should be done in a
place well ventilated to disperse explosive gases as
quickly as possible.
・ Battery electrolyte is very corrosive and will cause
burns, so if it splashes on skin or clothes, wash it off
immediately. If acid contacts eyes, flush immediately
with clean water and get medical attention.
・ When using booster cables, take sufficient safety
measures (Refer to page 10).
■ INSPECTION OF ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The battery is installed on the rear of the radiator of
the lawn mower. Check to see if the electrolyte level
is between the upper and lower limits. When the level
is near to the lower limit or below, raise the level with
distilled water to the upper limit.
