NOTICE
Battery fluid is highly corrosive and can damage metal or
painted surfaces. Use care when adding distilled water.
Filling the battery above the UPPER LEVEL line may
cause the electrolyte to overflow, resulting in corrosion
to engine or frame parts. Immediately wash off any
spilled electrolyte.
When checking battery fluid level, or adding distilled
water, make sure the breather tube is connected to
the battery breather outlet. The battery breather tube
must be routed as shown on the label. Do not bend or
