Check before starting the unit
Be sure to check the unit before operation.
When any abnormality is found, be sure to repair it before restarting the unit.
Be sure to make daily checks before operation. If the unit is operated without prior check and without
noticing any abnormality, operation could cause damage of components or may even cause fire.
Handling battery
Keep flames away from battery.
Battery generates hydrogen gas and may explode.
Therefore, recharging should be done at a well-ventilated
place.
Do not allow sparks or flame near the battery.
Do not check the battery by short-circuiting the positive and
negative terminals.
Never operate the machine nor charge the batteries with the
battery liquid level being kept lower than the "LOWER" level.
Continuing operation at this lower level will cause deterioration
of such parts as pole plates etc., and also it may cause
explosion as well as reduction of battery life. Add distilled water
so that the liquid level may reach the middle level between the
"UPPER" and "LOWER" level without any delay.
Do not charge a frozen battery. Otherwise it may explode. If
the battery is frozen, warm it up until the battery temperature
becomes 61°F to 86°F (16°C to 30°C).
Battery electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid.
In case of mishandling, it could cause skin burning.
When you deal with a battery, please be sure to wear
protection implements, such as protection glasses and a glove.
When such battery electrolyte contacts your clothes or skin,
wash it away with large amount of water immediately.
If the battery electrolyte gets into your eyes, wash it away
immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
Dispose of battery, observing local regulations.
