syringe whlch is inserted down into the filler
hole.

This car is fitted with an altemator
Uhen changing the battery or when carrying out
work involving the electrical system the fol-
lowing should be observed.
l. A battery connection to the wrong terminal
will damage the rectifiers. Before connec-
tions åre made, check the polarity of the
battery with a voltmeter.
2. If assist batteries åre used for starting
they must be properly connected to prevent
the rectiflers from being damaged.
The negative lead from the assist battery
for starting must be connected to the nega-
tive terminal stud af the car battery and
the positive lead from the assist battery
for starting to the positive terminal stud.
3. If a rapid charger is used for charging the
battery, the car battery leads should be
disconnected.
A rapid charger may be used as en aid in
starting (does not apply to B20F), but
should be swltched. off when being fitted
andthe leads disconnected.
4. Never disconnect the battery circuit (for
example, to change the battery) while the
engine is running, as this will immediately
ruin the alternator.
Always make sure that all the battery con-
nections åre properly tightened.
5. If any electrical welding work is to be
carried out an the vehicle, the ground
lead and all the connecting cables of the
altemator must be placed as near the
weldlng point as possible.
