* The charging system for an MF battery is different from
that of a conventional battery. Only use the specified
MF battery.
* Do not tap the caps with a hammer when inserting
them.
* Do not remove the caps once they are installed in the
battery.
• Measure the battery voltage with a tester. The tester should
indicate more than 12.6 V (DC), as shown. If the battery volt-
age is lower than specification, charge the battery with a bat-
tery charger.
NOTE:
Initial charging for a new battery is recommended if two years
have elapsed since the date of manufacture.
SERVICING

of cracking or electrolyte leakage from the sides of the battery
have occurred, replace the battery with a new one. If the battery
terminals are found to be coated with rust or an acidic white pow-
dery substance, clean the battery terminals with sandpaper.
