EBU00382Replenishing the battery fluid
A poorly maintained battery will corrode and dis-
charge quickly. The battery fluid should be
checked at least once a month.
1. The level should be between the upper and
lower level marks. Use only distilled water if
refilling is necessary.
2. Disconnect the negative (–) lead.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) lead and remove
the battery.cCNormal tap water contains minerals which
are harmful to a battery. Therefore, refill only
with distilled water.

period than the above, check the specific
gravity at least once a month and recharge
the battery when it is too low.

rect when putting the battery back in the
machine. Make sure the breather hose is
properly connected and is not damaged or
