Checking Battery Condition
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid
level is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may prematurely
deteriorate, which may shorten the battery’s service life or
cause an explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and add
distilled water as required so that the fluid level is between
the UPPER and LOWER levels.
CAUTION
• Never remove the vent caps while the engine is running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothes. If you
are spattered with it, wash it away completely with water
immediately and get medical attention.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when working
around the battery.
The factory-installed battery is of non-refillable type. If the
indicator turns white, do not change the battery but replace it with
new one.
1. Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds to

servicing.

lights will be dim. It is important check the battery periodically.
