Maintenance and care
■ Checking battery fluid
Check that the level is between
the “UPPER LEVEL” and
“LOWER LEVEL” lines.
“UPPER LEVEL” line
“LOWER LEVEL” line
If the fluid level is at or below the
“LOWER LEVEL” line, add dis-
tilled water.
■
Adding distilled water
Remove the vent plug.
Add distilled water.
If the “UPPER LEVEL” line can-
not be seen, check the fluid
level by looking directly at the
cell.
Put the vent plug back on
and close it securely.
■ Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Therefore, observe the following before recharging:
● If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
● Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the battery.
