INITIAL CHARGING
Filling electrolyte
• Remove the aluminum tape 1 sealing the battery electrolyte
filler holes.
• Remove the caps 2.
NOTE:
* After filling the electrolyte completely, use the removed cap 2
as sealing caps of battery-filler holes.
* Do not remove or pierce the sealed areas 3 of the electrolyte
container.
Insert the nozzles of the electrolyte container into the battery’s
electrolyte filler holes, holding the container firmly so that it does
not fall. Take precaution not to allow any of the fluid to spill.
• Make sure air bubbles 6 are coming up each electrolyte con-
tainer, and leave in this position for about more than 20 min-
utes.
