[7] CHECK BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL, ADD DISTILLED WATER
• If any tool touches between the battery positive (+) terminal and the chassis, there is danger that sparks will be
caused. Do not put tools and other metal objects in your breast pocket. They may fall out.
• Be careful not to get battery electrolyte on yourself or on your clothes.
• Do not bring any lighted cigarette or cigarette lighter close.
1. Open the battery inspection cover.
2. Look into indicator (1) of the battery.
If indicator (1) is in "blue", both the density and level of battery electrolyte
are within the normal ranges.
If indicator (1) is in "white", the battery electrolyte density drops below the
normal range.
If indicator (1) is in "red", the battery electrolyte level drops below the
normal range.
3. If indicator (1) is turned out to be "white", charge the battery.
If indicator (1) is turned out to be "red", remove all caps (2) and add distilled
water.
If indicator (1) does not turn "blue" even after adding water, charge the batt
ery.
If indicator (1) still does not turn "blue" even after the charge, replace the b
attery.
4. Close the battery inspection cover.
The battery is not a maintenance-free type. Check the battery approximately
every 100 hours.
