1. Fill:
• Battery electrolyte
Filling steps:
• Remove all the filler caps using pliers.
• Fill with the specified electrolyte from a
jug.
• After the electrolyte is filled up as far as the
UPPER LEVEL a, allow the cell to stand
for 20 minutes. If after 20 minutes, the
electrolyte level has dropped, add more
electrolyte up to the UPPER LEVEL mark
once again.
2. Initial battery charging:
• Battery
Charging steps:
• Connect the charging cable (+) and (–) of
the battery charger to the battery termi-
nals correctly.
• Charge the battery for 3 to 5 hours with
the rate of 1.9 ampere.
WARNING
Turn the battery charger on after the bat-
tery is connected to the charger.
The sparking by connecting the charging
cable to the battery terminal can cause an
explosion to the explosive gases coming
out from the battery cells.
CAUTION:
Always charge the battery when the elec-
trolyte is poured into the battery for the
first time. Otherwise, the battery can cause
the lowering of performance earlier.
3. Inspect:
• Specific gravity of the electrolyte
Out of specification → Recharge.
Specific gravity at 20°C (68°F):
1.28
NOTE:
Replace the battery if there are differences of
0.025 or more on the specific gravity of each
cell's electrolyte after recharging.
