CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
ss
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of
poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
• Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or hand-
ling batteries.
• KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent
eye injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
• Skin — Wash with water.
• Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
• Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
CAUTION:
• This is a sealed battery. Never remove
the sealing caps because the balance
between cells will not be maintained and
battery performance will deteriorate.
• Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are
different from those of conventional bat-
teries. The MF battery should be charged
as explained in the charging method
illustrations. If the battery is overchar-
ged, the electrolyte level will drop consi-
derably. Therefore, take special care
when charging the battery.
