Removal
Remove the left side cover.
Disconnect the negative terminal wire first and
then the positive terminal.
Remove the battery fixing bracket (2 nuts).
Remove the battery.
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Caution
z To prevent short circuit, the positive
terminal wire should be connected before
the negative terminal being connected.
Specific gravity of electrolyte inspection
Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte with
the specific gravity gauge.
Specific gravity specification (20°C)：
1.260~1.280 Fully charged
1.220 以下 Insufficiently charged
Caution
z Recharge the battery when the specific
gravity of electrolyte is below 1.23.
z The specific gravity of electrolyte
changes when the temperature changes,
as shown on the right chart.
z Replace the battery with new one when
the formation or deposit of lead sulfate
happens.
Warning
z The battery contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Antidote :
1. external: flush with water
2. internal: drink large amount of water or
milk, and call for medical care
3. Stay away from fire and keep good
ventilation.
