5.14 Check and use of batteries   

Stop the engine first, put starting switch on [OFF] 
position and check battery, pay attention to: 
* Short circuit may occur while removing battery 
cable; disconnect negative cable. And connect 
positive cable when installation.   
* No fire and smoke because igniting hydrogen 
produced in battery may cause explosion due to 
any smoke. 
* Keep metals or combustibles away from 
surrounding area of battery; in case of short 
circuit, explosion or fire may occur. 
* Blindness or burning may be caused by battery 
fluid (dilute sulfuric acid). Prevent the fluid 
splashing on your skin or clothes; in such case, 
wash with plenty water. If the fluid enters eyes, 
wash with clean water and accept medical care.
* Remove all wiring post of each eletrobath 
before charging.   
*  Wear eye protection glasses while working near 
battery; using booster cable and starting engine.

Check and maintenance of battery

The life of latest battery, with high performance, 
may be shortened and additional expenditure 
may be required resulted from improper 
operation. So use the battery as per its 
instruction to make full use of it. 
1. Batteries are necessary for engine and 
illumination.  
2. The engine cannot be started or the lamp will 
become dim with insufficient power. It’s too late 
to charge at this time; so charge in advance. 
3. Moisture in electrolyte may vaporize and fluid 
may reduce during charging. Insufficient 
electrolyte may cause damage of battery and 
overfull electrolyte may also damage the 
vehicle. 
4. In case of long-term storage, remove the 
battery and charge it; and then keep it under dry 
condition without direct sunlight.   
5. Battery is discharging by itself during storage. 
so charge it once a month.

 Precaution while battery charging 

1. Replace the battery in case of insufficient 
electrolyte. Battery for this vehicle is not 
water-supplementing type. 
2. Avoid quick charge, which may shorten service 
life of battery. 
3. Do not confuse (+) and (-) terminals while 
connecting cables. In case of confusion, failure of 
battery and electrical system may occur.   
4. Remove (-) post while disconnection and 
connect the (+) post while installation. Otherwise, 
short circuit occurs once contacting with tool. 
5. Charge the battery with common approach. For 
instance: connect (+) post of battery with that of 
charger and connect (-) post of battery with that of 
charger.  
6. Quick charging is a method for supplementing 
partial power for discharging battery with large 
current. This method shall be used in case of 
emergency.  
7. In addition to check and proportion 
determination of battery fluid, if battery is needed, 
remove cables on battery before operation.   
8. Remove terminal posts of each electrobath.

 Check of battery fluid level   

Refer to [Maintenance every 50h] for check of 
battery fluid level.
