Battery
WARNING: To prevent possible explosion,
never expose battery to open flame or electrical
spark. Do not smoke near battery. Batteries
generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid.
Do not allow battery to contact eyes, skin or painted
surface. If contact occurs, flush affected area immedi-
ately with water. Obtain medical attention if eyes are
affected.
Checking the state of charge
The battery will be maintained in top operating condi-
tion only by regular routine inspection and mainte-
nance. When not in use, the battery will discharge
slowly.
Electrolyte level
Electrolyte is checked every 14 days or 25 hours. The
correct level is approximately 5 to 10 mm
3/16"–3/8") above the battery plates. Add distilled
water to bring to proper level, do not overfill. After
adding water, battery should be charged for at least
30 minutes by running the engine at high idle. This will
ensure proper mixing of distilled water and electrolyte.
Routine cleaning
Batteries should be kept clean and dry. Battery
connections must be clean and tight. A light film of
grease applied to the battery connections will help to
minimize corrosion.
