Filling electrolyte
• Remove the aluminum tape 1 sealing the battery electrolyte
filler holes A.
NOTE:
When filling electrolyte, the battery must be removed from the
vehicle and must be put on the level ground.
• Remove the caps 2.

3
of the electrolyte
container.
• Insert the nozzles of the electrolyte container 4 into the bat-
tery’s electrolyte filler holes, holding the container firmly so
that it does not fall. Take precaution not to allow any of the

tainer, and leave in this position for about more than 20 min-
utes.
