MAINTENANCE SERVICE
Check electrolyte level once a month.
Add distilled water to restore the level.
Never use electrolyte to restore the level.
Keep the battery always clean.
Apply grease around the terminals to prevent corrosion.
Keep the exhaust tube free of folds and obstructions.
RECHARGING
Recharging is necessary when you find out that the lights get dim, the horn get weak and/or
when you keep the battery unused during more than one month.
Charge the battery with an output current of 1/10th of the battery's rated capacity.
Charge until the battery starts gassing freely and the specific gravity of electrolyte rises to
higher than 1,270.
NOTE
Many batteries contain a special chemical component that has been added to reduce sulfate
crystal deposits (which eventually prevents the battery from accepting a charge).
It is a white chemical powder that may be visible before the battery is activated, but it
dissolves once the electrolyte is added.
After charging the battery, the specific gravity of electrolyte rises to 1,290 (at 20°C/86°F).
If the battery has not been used for a quite long time, extended recharging time is required.
