16-24 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Battery
CAUTION
Do not remove the aluminum seal sheet [A] sealing
the filler ports [B] until just before use.
•
Check to see that there is no peeling, tears or holes in the
seal sheet on the top of the battery.
•
Place the battery on a level surface.
•
Remove the seal sheet.
NOTE
○
A battery whose seal sheet has any peeling, tears or
holes, requires a refreshing charge (initial charge).
•
Take the electrolyte container out of the vinyl bag.
•
Detach the seal cap [A] from the container.
NOTE
○
Do not discard the seal cap because it is used as the
battery plugs later.
○
Do not peel back or pierce the seals [B] on the container.
•
Place the electrolyte container upside down aligning the
six seals with the six battery filler ports.
•
Push the container down strongly enough to break the
seals. Now the electrolyte should start to flow into the
battery.
NOTE
○
Do not tilt the container as the electrolyte flow may be
interrupted.
•
Make sure air bubbles [A] are coming up from all six filler
ports.
○
Leave t he container this way for 5 minutes or longer.
NOTE
○
If no air bubbles are coming up from a filler port, tap
[B] t he bottom of the bottle two or three times. Never
remove the container from the battery.
CAUTION
Fill the electrolyte into the battery until the con-
tainer is completely emptied.
•
Be certain that all the electrolyte has flowed out.
•
Tap t he bottom the same way as above if there is any
electrolyte left i n the container.
•
Now pull the container gently out of the battery.
•
Let the battery sit for 20 minutes. During this time, the
electrolyte permeates the special separators and the gas
generated by chemical reaction is released.
