(4) Inspection of Battery
Fire due to Electric Short-Circuits
Always turn off the battery switch
or detach the earth cable (-) before
inspecting the electrical system. Failure
to do so could cause short-circuiting and
fires.
Proper Ventilation of the Battery Area
Be sure the area around the battery is
well ventilated and there is nothing which
could start a fire. During operation and
charging, hydrogen gas is emitted from
the battery and can be easily ignited.
Battery Fluid
Battery fluid is diluted sulfuric acid. It can
blind you if it gets in your eyes, or burn
your skin. Keep the fluid away from your
body. Wash it off immediately with a large
quantity of fresh water if you get any on
you.
• Check the level of fluid in the battery.
When the amount of fluid nears the lower limit, fill
with battery fluid (available in the market) to the
upper limit. If operation continues with insufficient
battery fluid, the battery life is shortened, and the
battery may overheat and explode.
• Battery fluid tends to evaporate more quickly in
the summer, and the fluid level should be checked
earlier than the specified times.
• If the engine turns over at a slower than usual rate
and refuses to start, recharge the battery.
• If the engine still will not start after charging, replace
the battery.
The capacity of the specified alternator
and battery is sufficient for regular operation; however,
the capacity may be insufficient if they are used for
other purposes such as lights inside the boat, etc.
Consult your Yanmar dealer or distributor.
