WARNING
¼ Do not expose the battery to flames
or electrical sparks. Hydrogen gas,
generated by battery fluid, is explo-
sive. Do not allow battery fluid to
contact your skin, eyes, fabrics, or
painted surfaces. After touching a
battery or battery cap, do not touch
or rub your eyes. Thoroughly wash
your hands. If the acid contacts your
eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for at least 15 min-
utes and seek medical attention.
¼ Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid
in the battery is low. Low battery fluid
can cause a higher load on the bat-
tery which can generate heat, reduce
battery life, and in some cases lead
to an explosion.
¼ When working on or near a battery,
always wear suitable eye protection
and remove all jewelry.
¼ Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after han-
dling.
¼ Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be
between the UPPER LEVEL
k
1
and LOWER
LEVEL
k

lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only distilled
water to bring the level to the indicator in each
filler opening. Do not overfill.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under
severe conditions require frequent checks of the
battery fluid level.
