WARNING
Batteries contain acid, which is both
corrosive and poisonous. If spillage occurs:
•
On clothing or the skin - remove any
contaminated clothing immediately, flush
the skin with large amounts of water, and
seek medical attention urgently.
•
In the eyes - flush with clean water
immediately for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention urgently.
Swallowing battery acid can be fatal unless
IMMEDIATE action is taken - seek medical
attention urgently.
During normal operation batteries emit
explosive hydrogen gas - ensure sparks and
naked lights are kept away from the engine
compartment.
H2490
For your safety, remove all metal wrist bands
and jewellery before working in the engine
compartment and NEVER allow the battery
terminals or vehicle leads to make contact
with tools or metal parts of the vehicle.
The battery is designed to be maintenance free,
so topping-up is unnecessary. On the top of the
battery there is a battery condition indicator
(arrowed in illustration). Examine the indicator
periodically to check the battery's condition.
When the indicator shows:
•
•
•
GREEN - the battery is in a good state of
charge.
DARK (turning to black) - the battery needs
charging.
CLEAR (or light yellow) - the battery must
be replaced. Do not charge the battery or
jump start the vehicle in this condition.
NOTE: When checking the battery condition
indicator, if necessary, clean the battery top to
ensure a clear view.
If the indicator shows clear or yellow, tap the
indicator with the handle of a screwdriver to
disperse any air bubbles. If the colour is
unchanged, the battery must be replaced.
