WARNING
EWA13310
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating
other than that specified. Improvising or us-
ing a fuse with the wrong amperage rating
may cause extensive damage to the electri-
cal system, cause the lighting and ignition
systems to malfunction and could possibly
cause a fire.

CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
WARNING
EWA13290
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of poi-
sonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
● Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries.
● Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
● Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
● DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
● KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
● Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
● Skin — Wash with water.
● Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
● Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or
vegetable oil. Get immediate medical atten-
tion.
CAUTION:
ECA13660
● This is a sealed battery. Never remove the
sealing caps because the balance between
cells will not be maintained and battery per-
formance will deteriorate.
● Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batteries.
The MF battery should be charged as ex-
plained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.
NOTE:
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possible
to check the charge state of the battery by mea-
suring the specific gravity of the electrolyte.
Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be
checked by measuring the voltage at the battery
terminals.
