17. Checking the battery condition
DANGER
To avoid the possibility of a battery explosion: For
refillable type battery, follow the following
instructions.
• Do not use or charge the refillable type battery
if the fluid level is below the [LOWER] (lower
limit level) mark. Otherwise, the component
parts of the battery may prematurely
deteriorate, which may shorten the service life
of the battery or cause an explosion. Check the
fluid level regularly and add distilled water as
required so that the fluid level is between the
[UPPER] and [LOWER] levels.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Never remove the vent caps while the engine is
running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands, and
clothes. If you are spattered with electrolyte,
wash it away completely with water immediately
and get medical attention.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when
working around the battery.
• Before inspection or dismounting the battery,
be sure to turn off the engine and turn the
starter switch to the [STOP] position.
• When removing the battery, always disconnect
the negative ground cable first. When installing
a battery, always connect the ground cable last.
Connecting and disconnecting the cables in
proper order prevents a possible explosion
caused by sparks.
• Always wear eye protection when working with
the battery.
IMPORTANT :
• The battery of non-refillable type is factory-
installed. If the indicator turns white, do not
quick charge the battery but replace it with new
one.
Mishandling the battery shortens the service life of it
and adds to maintenance costs.
The original battery is maintenance free, but must be
checked periodically.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.
