BATTERY SOLUTION LEVEL CHECK
The battery solution level should be between the UPPER level
and the LOWER level.
If the level is low, add distilled water only.
#
Once the battery has been initially serviced, NEVER add
diluted sulphuric acid, or you will damage the battery.
Follow the battery manufacture’s instructions for spe-
cific maintenance procedures.
BATTERY SOLUTION SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
Measure the gravity of the battery solution by using the hydrom-
eter.
