Fig. 6C-8
Fuel filler cap includes vacuum valve and pressure
valve.
In
case any high vacuum and any high pressure
happen in tank, each
valve works to adjust the
pressure to prevent the tank from being damaged.
(1!] INSPECTION
Check the seal ring in the filler cap for presence of
any abnormality and for seal condition.
Replace the filler cap, if abnormal.
\f CAUTION
Valves of fuel filler cap have characteristics.
As any defective valve, no valve or any wrong
characteristic valve will do a lot of harm to engine
condition, be sure to use the same fuel filler cap as
installed in this vehicle.

switch sufficiently.
• Fully depress the pedal and hold it there hand.
Rotate
the switch clockwise and then rotate
further by 1/2 turn from the position where the
switch clicks. Lock the switch there.
• Step on the accelerator pedal and make sure that
you can hear clicking sound at the full stroke

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
There are six battery fluid caps at the top of the
battery. These are covered by a paper
label.
The battery is completely sealed except for the six
small vent holes at the side. These vent holes per
mit the escape of small amounts of gas generated
by the battery.
This type
of battery has the following advantages
over
conventional batteries:
1. There is no need to add water during the entire
service
life of the battery.
2. The battery protects itself against overcharging.
The battery
will refuse to accept an excessive
charge. (A
conventional battery will accept an excessive
charge,
resulting in gassing and loss of battery
fluid.)
3. The battery is much less vulnerable to self
discharge than a conventional type battery.
DIAGNOSIS
1. VISUAL INSPECTION
Inspect the battery for obvious physical damage,
such
as a cracked or broken case, which would per
mit electrolyte loss.
Replace
the battery if obvious physical damage is
discovered during inspection.
Check
for any other physical damage and correct it
as necessary. If not, proceed to Step 2.
2. HYDROMETER CHECK
There is a built-in hydrometer (Charge test indica
tor) at the top of the battery. It is designed to be
used during diagnostic procedures. Before
trying to read the hydrometer,
carefully
clean
the upper battery surface.
If your work area is poorly lit, additional light may
be necessary
to read the hydrometer (Fig. 6D1-1).
a. BLUE RING OR DOT VISIBLE -Go to Step
4.
b. BLUE RING OR DOT NOT VISIBLE -Go to
Step 3.

3. FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The fluid level should be between the upper level
line
and lower level line on side of the battery (Fig.
6D1-1).
a. CORRECT FLUID LEVEL - Charge the bat
tery.
b. BELOW LOWER LEVEL -Replace battery.
4. VOLTAGE CHECK
(1) Put voltmeter test leads to battery terminals.
a. VOLTAGE IS 12.4V OR ABOVE -Go to
Step 5.
b. VOLTAGE IS UNDER 12.4V -Go to proce
dure
(2) below.
(2) Determine fast charge amperage from
specification. (See Main Data and Specifications
in this section).
Fast charge battery for
30 minutes at amperage
rate no higher than specified
value.
Take voltage and amperage readings after
charge.
a. VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT BELOW 1/3 OF
AMPERAGE RATE-Replace battery.
b. VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT ABOVE 1/3 OF
AMPERAGE RATE -Drop charging voltage
to 15V and charge for 10 -15 hours.
Then
go to Step 5.
c. VOLTAGE IS BETWEEN 12V AND 16V -
Continue charging at the same rate for
an
additional 3-1/2 hours. Then go to Step 5.
d. VOLTAGE IS BELOW 12V -Replace bat
tery.
5. LOAD TEST
(1) Connect a voltmeter and a battery load tester
across the battery
terminals.
(2) Apply 300 ampere load for 15 seconds to
remove surface charge
from the battery.
Remove
load.
(3) Wait 15 seconds to let battery recover. Then
apply specified load from specifications (See
Main Data and Specifications in this section).
Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove
load.
a. VOLTAGE DOES NOT DROP BELOW THE
MINIMUM LISTED IN Fig. 6D1-2 -The bat
tery is good and
should be returned to ser
vice.
b. VOLTAGE IS LESS THAN MINIMUM LISTED
-Replace battery.

0 -18 8.5
The battery temperature must be estimated by feel and by the temperature the battery has been exposed to for
the preceding few hours.
