BATTERY
BATTERIES CONTAIN
SULPHURIC ACID WHICH
CAN CAUSE SEVERE
BURNS AND PRODUCE
EXPLOSIVE GASES.
If the acid has been splashed
on the skin, eyes or clothes
flush with copious amounts of
fresh water and seek
immediate medical aid.
Check the battery as follows:
Wear protective gloves and goggles.
Clean the top of the battery filler plug
area.
Remove the filler plugs and check that
the electrolyte level is 6.0-9.0mm
(0.25-0.37in) above the tops of the
separators.
If necessary top up with distilled water.
In cold weather distilled water should only
be added immediately before running the
engine.
Replace and tighten the filler plugs.
Check that the terminal connections are
tight; petroleum jelly will help to protect
them from corrosion.
