CAUTION
l
Never disconnect the battery with the igni-
tion switch or the operation mode in ON.
Doing so could damage electric components.
l
Never short-circuit the battery. This could
cause it to overheat and be damaged.
l
If the battery is to be quick-charged, first
disconnect the battery cables.
l
In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure to
disconnect the negative (-) terminal first.
l
Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
CAUTION
l
Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic
parts and so on into contact with sulphuric
acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,
stain or discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then immediate-
ly rinse the affected parts with plenty of wa-
ter.
NOTE
l
Keep the terminals clean. After the battery is
connected, apply terminal protection grease.
To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water.
l
Check to see if the battery is securely instal-
led and cannot be moved during travel. Also
check each terminal for tightness.
NOTE
l
When the vehicle is to be left unused for a
long period of time, remove the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will
not freeze. The battery should be stored only
in a fully charged condition.
