[WHEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHECK ELECTROLYTE LEVEL FROM SIDE OF BATTERY]
If it is impossible to check the electrolyte level from the side of the battery, or there is no display of the
UPPER LEVEL line on the side of the battery, check as follows.
1. Open the battery room door, and the move vinyl cover (1)
(installed on top of the battery).
2. Remove all caps (2) at the top of the battery, look through the
water filler port (3), and check the electrolyte surface.
3. If the electrolyte does not reach the sleeve (4), add distilled
water so that the level reaches the bottom of the sleeve (UPPER
LEVEL line) without fail.
• (A) Suitable level: Electrolyte level is up to bottom of sleeve, so
surface tension causes electrolyte surface to bulge and poles
appear bent.
• (B) Low: Electrolyte level is not up to bottom of sleeve, so poles
appear straight and not bent.
4. After adding distilled water, tighten all caps (2) securely.
If distilled water is added to above the bottom tip of the sleeve,
use a syringe to remove electrolyte. Neutralize the removed
electrolyte with sodium bicarbonate, then flush it away with a
large amount of water. If necessary, contact us or our sales
service agency or battery maker.
[WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE INDICATOR TO CHECK ELECTROLYTE LEVEL]
