Replenishing 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 maximum
and minimum level marks. Use only distilled
water if refilling is necessary.
2. Disconnect the negative (–) lead.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) lead, and then
remove the battery.
cC
Normal tap water contains minerals which
are harmful to a battery. Therefore, refill only
with distilled water.
