1. Fill:
Battery electrolyte
Filling steps:
Remove all the filler caps using pliers.
Fill with the specified electrolyte from
a jug.
After the electrolyte is filled up as far as
the UPPER LEVEL a , allow the cell to
stand for 20 minutes. If after 20 min-
utes, the electrolyte level has dropped,
add more electrolyte up to the UPPER
LEVEL mark once again.
2. Initial battery charging:
Battery
Charging steps:
Connect the charging cable (+) and (–)
of the battery charger to the battery
terminals correctly.
Charge the battery for 3 to 5 hours
with the rate of 1.9 ampere.
WARNING
Turn the battery charger on after the bat-
tery is connected to the charger.
The sparking by connecting the charging
cable to the battery terminal can cause an
explosion to the explosive gases coming
out from the battery cells.
CAUTION:
Always charge the battery when the elec-
trolyte is poured into the battery for the
first time. Otherwise, the battery can cause
the lowering of performance earlier.
3. Inspect:
Specific gravity of the electrolyte
Out of specification → Recharge.
Specific gravity at 20˚C (68˚F):
1.28
NOTE:
Replace the battery if there are differences
of 0.025 or more on the specific gravity of
each cell's electrolyte after recharging.
