Fire due to Electric Short-Circuits
Always turn off the battery switch or detach the earth cable (--) before
inspecting the electrical system. Failure to do so could cause short-
circuiting and fires.
Proper Ventilation of the Battery Area
Be sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated and there is
nothing which could start a fire. During operation and charging,
hydrogen gas is emitted from the battery and can be easily ignited.
Battery Fluid
Battery fluid is diluted sulfuric acid. It can blind you if it gets in your
eyes, or burn your skin. Keep the fluid away from your body. Wash it off
immediately with a large quantity of fresh water if you get any on you.
(3) Inspection of Battery
●
Check the level of fluid in the battery.
When the amount of fluid nears the lower
limit, fill with battery fluid (available in the
market) to the upper limit. If operation
continues with insufficient battery fluid, the
battery life is shortened, and the battery
may overheat and explode.
●
Battery fluid tends to evaporate more
quickly in the summer, and the fluid level
should be checked earlier than the
specified times.
●
If the engine turns over at a slower than
usual rate and refuses to start, recharge
the battery.
●
If the engine still will not start after charg
ing,replace the battery.
The capacity of the specified alternator and battery is sufficient for regular operation,
however, the capacity may be insufficient, if they are used for other purposes such
as lights inside the boat, etc. Consult your Yanmar dealer or distributor.
