INSPECTING THE BATTERY FLUID LEVEL
AND REPLENISHING
• Do not use the battery when the fluid
level is below the lower level limit. Doing
so will hasten the deterioration of the
internal portions of the battery and
shorten the battery life. It also can
cause rupturing (explosion).
• Batteries generate flammable hydrogen
gas which may explode. Keep away
from flame, sparks, fire or lighted
cigarettes.
• Use a dampened cloth to clean above
the fluid level line and check the fluid
level. Do not clean with a dry cloth;
otherwise it can cause static electricity
to build up, resulting in ignition or
explosion.
• Wear protective goggle and clothing
when working with batteries.
• Do not add the distilled water above the
upper level limit. Doing so could cause
the fluid to leak. This fluid can cause
skin damage if contacted, or can cause
the machine components to corrode.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid which will
damage eyes or skin if contacted.
· If eye contact occurs, flush
immediately with clean water and get
prompt medical attention.
· If accidentally swallowed, drink large
quantities of water or milk and call a
physician immediately.
· If acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
off immediately with a lot of water.
