remove the battery before filling with electrolyte and
during charging. Always completely clean the
exterior of the battery before installing.

breather hose cap (1).
TIP:
Place the battery on a level place.
b. Cool the electrolyte .
c. Pour electrolyte into each cell little by little up to the
upper level line (a), and leave it for a while. When the
battery fluid permeates the plates and separators, the
fluid level begins to lower. Add electrolyte and bring back
to upper level line (a).
TIP:
Fill the battery with electrolyte (diluted sulfuric acid).

acid and therefore is poisonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive measures:
