Battery Condition
To avoid the possibility of battery explosion:
For the refillable type battery, follow the
instructions below.
A
Do not use or charge the refillable type battery
if the fluid level is below the LOWER (lower limit
level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component
parts may prematurely deteriorate, which may
shorten the battery's service life or cause an
explosion. Check the fluid level regularly and
add distilled water as required so that the fluid
level is between the UPPER and LOWER levels.
To avoid serious injury or death:
A
When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
To avoid serious injury:
A
Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
and other chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. WASH HANDS
AFTER HANDLING.

Never remove the battery cap while the engine
is running.
A
Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and
clothes. If you come in contact with the
electrolyte, wash it away completely with water
immediately and get medical attention.
