CAUTION
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
The battery produces flammable and
explosive hydrogen gas.
DDo not cause a spark from the bat-
tery with tools.
DDo not smoke or light a match near
the battery.
The electrolyte contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
DAvoid contact with eyes, skin or
clothes.
DNever ingest electrolyte.
DWear protective safety glasses when
working near the battery.
DKeep children away from the bat-
tery.
EMERGENCY MEASURES
DIf electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water
immediately and get immediate
medical attention. If possible, con-
tinue to apply water with a sponge
or cloth while en route to the medi-
cal office.
DIf electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contact area. If
you feel pain or burning, get medi-
cal attention immediately.
DIf electrolyte gets on your clothes,
there is a possibility of its soaking
through to your skin, so immediate-
ly take off the exposed clothing and
follow the procedure above, if nec-
essary.
DIf you accidentally swallow electro-
lyte, drink a large quantity of water
or milk. Get emergency medical
attention immediately.
The electricity stored in the battery will
discharge gradually even when the vehicle
is not in use, due to natural discharge
and the draining effects of certain electri-
cal appliances. If the vehicle is left for a
long time, the battery may discharge, and
the engine may be unable to start. (The
battery recharges automatically during
driving.)

Ground
cable
Hold−down
clamp
On some models, before checking the
battery, remove the battery cover.
Check the battery for corroded or loose
terminal connections, cracks, or loose
hold−down clamp.
a. If the battery is corroded, wash it off
with a solution of warm water and bak-
ing soda. Coat the outside of the termi-
nals with grease to prevent further cor-
rosion.
b. If the terminal connections are loose,
tighten their clamp nuts—but do not
overtighten.
c. Tighten the hold−down clamp only
enough to keep the battery firmly in
place. Overtightening may damage the
battery case.
NOTICE
zBe sure the engine and all accesso-
ries are off before performing main-
tenance.
zWhen checking the battery, remove
the ground cable from the negative
terminal (“−” mark) first and rein-
stall it last.
zBe careful not to cause a short cir-
cuit with tools.
zTake care no solution gets into the
battery when washing it.

CHECKING BY FLUID LEVEL LINES
The fluid (electrolyte) level must be be-
tween the upper and lower lines.
When checking the fluid level, look at all
six cells, not just one or two.
If the level is lower than the lower line,
add distilled water. (See “ADDING
DISTILLED WATER” on page 202.)

Low O.K.
ADDING DISTILLED WATER
1. Remove the vent plugs.
2. Add distilled water to cells needing
fluid.
If the side of your battery is covered,
check the water level by looking down
directly above the cell as illustrated
above.
3. Retighten the vent plugs securely.
NOTICE
Do not overfill the cells. Excess elec-
trolyte could squirt out of the battery
during heavy charging, causing corro-
sion or damage.
During recharging, the battery is pro-
ducing hydrogen gas.
Therefore, before recharging:
1. If recharging with the battery installed
on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
2. Be sure the power switch on the re-
charger is off when connecting the
charger cables to the battery and when
disconnecting them.
CAUTION
Always charge the battery in an un-
confined area. Do not charge the bat-
tery in a garage or closed room
where there is not sufficient ventila-
tion.
NOTICE
Never recharge the battery while the
engine is running. Also, be sure all
accessories are turned off.
