3.
Remove the caps (5) from the top of the battery.
4.
Look into the fluid filler port (6) and check the electrolyte
level.
5.
If the electrolyte does not reach the sleeve (7), immediate-
ly add the purified water (e.g. commercially available re-
plenishment water for a battery) so that the level reaches
the bottom of sleeve (7) (UPPER LEVEL line).
(A) Suitable level
Electrolyte level is up to bottom of sleeve (7), so surface
tension causes electrolyte surface to bulge and poles ap-
pear bent.
(B) Low level
Electrolyte level is not up to bottom of sleeve (7), so poles appear straight and not bent.
REMARK
If the purified water is added to above the lower end of the sleeve (UPPER LEVEL line), remove the fluid by
using a syringe to lower the level to the lower end of the sleeve (UPPER LEVEL line).
Neutralize the removed replenishment water for a battery with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), then flush
it away with a large amount of water or consult your Komatsu distributor or battery manufacturer.
6.
After adding, tighten the cap (5) securely.
7.
Close the cooling cover (3).
8.
Close the engine rear cover (1).
