Battery Checking

Open the right side cover.
Clean away dust and corrosive from the surface of the battery.
Set the vehicle in a vertical position to see whether the level of the battery electrolyte is between the upper and lower mark lines. If it is below
the lower one, distilled water shall be added to the battery.
Seriously corroded conductor connectors of the battery shall be replaced.
Caution:
To dismantle battery, disconnect the negative(—) electrode before the positive(+) one, and vice versa in installation. Ensure against any contact
of the positive (+) electrode with the vehicle body.
Never have the electrolyte level come over the upper mark line when adding distilled water. Otherwise overflow and corrosion will occur.
The electrolyte contains sulfuric acid and will cause serious hurt to skin and eyes by contact. In case of contact with it, wash it off for 5 minutes
and see a doctor immediately.
Foreign matter should be prevented from entering into the battery during dismounting and installation.
The breathing pipe must be kept unblocked.
