6.2 Maintenance of Battery
Do not connect the cables backwards
If a booster cable has to be used or when cables are connected at battery replacement, be careful not
to connect (+) and (–) terminals backwards. A wrong-connection will cause spark and damage
components. Explosion may result.
Handling battery
Keep flames away from battery.
Battery generates hydrogen gas and may explode.
Therefore, recharging should be done at a well-ventilated
place.
Do not allow sparks or flame near the battery.
Do not check the battery by short-circuiting the positive and
negative terminals.
Never operate the machine nor charge the batteries with the
battery liquid level being kept lower than the "LOWER" level.
Continuing operation at this lower level will cause deterioration
of such parts as pole plates etc., and also it may cause
explosion as well as reduction of battery life. Add distilled water
so that the liquid level may reach the middle level between the
"UPPER" and "LOWER" level without any delay.
Do not charge a frozen battery. Otherwise it may explode. If the
battery is frozen, warm it up until the battery temperature
becomes 61°F to 86°F (16°C to 30°C).
Battery electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid.
In case of mishandling, it could cause skin burning.
When you deal with a battery, please be sure to wear protection
implements, such as protection glasses and a glove.
When such battery electrolyte contacts your clothes or skin,
wash it away with large amount of water immediately.
If the battery electrolyte gets into your eyes, wash it away
immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
Dispose of battery, observing local regulations.
