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
powdery substance, clean the battery terminals with sandpaper.
RECHARGING OPERATION

• After recharging, wait for 30 minutes and more and check the
battery voltage with a multi circuit tester.
• If the battery voltage is the 12.5 V and less, recharge the bat-
tery again.
• If battery voltage is still 12.5 V and less, after recharging,
replace the battery with a new one.
