Electrolyte Level Check
--- every 100 hours (Do this when machine is cold.)
1. Check the electrolyte solution level at least once a
month.
2. Park the machine on level ground and stop the
engine.
3. Check the electrolyte solution level.
3.1 When checking the level from the battery side:
Clean around the level check lines with a wet
towel. Do not use a dry towel. Static electricity
may spark, causing the battery gas to explode.
Check if the electrolyte solution level is between
U.L (Upper Level) and L.L (Lower Level). In case the
electrolyte solution level is lower than the middle
level between the U.L and L.L, immediately refill
with distilled water or commercial battery fluid. Be
sure to refill with distilled water before recharging
(operating the machine). After refilling, securely
tighten the filler caps.
3.2 When impossible to check the level from the
battery side or no level check mark is indicated on
the side:
After removing the filler plug from the top of the
battery. Check the electrolyte solution level by
viewing through the filler port. Use a flash light and
a mirror to do this. It is difficult to accurately judge
the electrolyte solution level in this case. Therefore,
when the electrolyte solution level is flush with the
U.L, the level is correct. Referring to the illustrations
to the right, check the level.
When the electrolyte solution level is lower than
the bottom end of the sleeve, refill with distilled
water or commercial battery fluid up to the bottom
of the sleeve. Be sure to refill with distilled water
before recharging (operating the machine). After
refilling, securely tighten the filler caps.
3.3 When an indicator is available to check the level,
use it.
4. Always keep the battery areas clean to prevent
battery discharge. Check terminals for looseness and/
or corrosion. Coat terminals with grease or petroleum
jelly to prevent corrosion build up.

Since the electrolyte solution surface touches the bottom
end of the sleeve, the electrolyte solution surface is raised
due to surface tension so that the electrode ends are seen
curved.
When the electrolyte solution surface is lower than the
bottom end of the sleeve, the electrode ends are seen
straight.
