In hot climates more frequent checks of the low
maintenance battery electrolyte level and
condition are required. If necessary, the battery
cells can be topped up using distilled water.
To check the electrolyte level, first remove the
battery cover. See 196, UNDER BONNET
COVERS - REMOVAL.
1. Unscrew the 6 battery cell plugs and store
carefully.
2. Check the surface level of the liquid
(electrolyte) in each cell is level with the
plastic level indicator. If necessary, top up
with distilled water.
Do not over fill the battery.
3.Refit the 6 battery cell plugs.
4. Refit the battery cover. See 196, UNDER
BONNET COVERS - REFITTING.
The battery cover must be refitted as
soon as possible to make sure the
battery positive terminal is insulated.
CONNECTING JUMP LEADS
Rotating parts of the engine can cause
serious injury. Take extreme care
when working near rotating parts of
the engine.
Before attempting to start the disabled
vehicle, make sure that the parking
brake is applied, or suitably chock the
wheels. Make sure that Park is
selected or the manual gearbox is in
neutral.
Always wear appropriate eye
protection when working with
batteries.
Never jump start, charge, or try to
start a vehicle with a frozen battery.
Doing so can result in an explosion.
During normal use, batteries emit
explosive gas sufficient to cause
severe explosions and capable of
causing serious injury - keep sparks
and naked lights away from the engine
compartment.
Make sure there is no physical contact
between the donor and disabled
vehicles other than the jump leads.
Make sure that the slave battery or
starting aid is a 12 volt device.
Disconnect the jump leads prior to
operating any electrical equipment.
Note: Before connecting jump leads make sure
the battery connections on the disabled vehicle
are correct and that all electrical equipment has
been switched off.
