MAINTENANCE
Every 50
Hours
Inspecting the Battery Fluid Level
and Replenishing
A DANGER
• Do
not
use the battery when the fluid
level is below the
lower
level. Doing
so will hasten the deterioration
of
the
internal portions
of
the battery and
shorten the battery life, and can also
cause rupturing (or an explosion).
• Batteries generate flammable and
explosive gases. Keep arcs, sparks,
flames and lighted
tobacco
away.
• Use a dampened cloth
to
clean the area
of
the fluid level lines and
check
the fluid
level. Note
that
if
this area is cleaned
with a
dry
cloth, static electricity could
cause ignition
or
explosion.
AwARNING
• Do
not
fill the battery above the upper
level. Doing so could cause the fluid
to
leak, contact and damage the skin,
or
cause parts
to
corrode.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
will damage eyes
or
skin on contact.
• If acid contacts eyes, flush
immediately with clean
water
and
get
prompt medical attention.
• If acid is accidentally swallowed,
drink large quantities
of
water
or
milk
and call a physician immediately.
• If acid contacts skin
or
clothing, wash
off
immediately
with
clean water.
Inspection
IMPORTANT: Check the fluid level
of
all
cells, even when the fluid level can be
checked
by
indicator.

Note: Under normal operating conditions,
the maintenance-free battery does not
require addition of water because of the
special plate designed to minimize fluid
loss. However, for those machines that
are heavily used or operated under severe
conditions (for example,
in
high ambient
temperature), the fluid level often becomes
low. If that is the case, check the fluid level
of
the maintenance-free battery and add water
as needed.

3.
Inspect the fluid level.
The fluid level should be between the lines
indicating the upper level
(H)
and lower
level
(L)
. If not, add distilled water up to
line(H).
