Bonding wires
Bonding wires are used to electrically connect
the engine components so they exist in a com-
mon ground circuit. This allows them to be pro-
tected against electrolysis by the anodes.
These wires and their terminals should be
checked periodically to be sure they have not
been damaged.
BATTERY
The battery solution level must be kept between
the MAX and the MIN level lines at all times. If
the level drops below the MIN level line, add
DISTILLED WATER ONLY until the battery
solution level reaches the MAX level line.
V WARNING
Battery acid is poisonous and corrosive, and
can cause severe injury.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing, and
painted surfaces. If battery acid comes in con-
tact with any of these, flush immediately with
large amounts of water. If acid contacts the
eyes or skin, get immediate medical attention.
V WARNING
If you are not careful when checking or servic-
ing the battery, you can cause a short circuit,
which could result in an explosion, fire, or cir-
cuit damage.
Disconnect the negative (black) cable when
checking or servicing the battery. Be careful
not to allow a metal tool or other metal object
to touch the battery's positive terminal and
the motor at the same time.

may be hazardous.
Wash hands after handling.
NOTICE
If you add diluted sulphuric acid to the battery

damage the battery.
NEVER add diluted sulphuric acid to the bat-
tery after it has been initially serviced. Follow
the battery manufacturer's instructions for
specific maintenance procedures.
