tery fluid level often. The fluid level

should be kept between the upper

To refill use only distilled water.

are harmful to a battery.

Whenever removing the battery, disconnect the negative

(black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, connect the

negative (black) cable last or an explosive situation could re-

sult causing serious injury or death.

cal attention.

arettes, etc. away. Ventilate when charging or using in an en-
