BATTERY

NOTICE

Battery is not included with this machine

The standard battery is a maintenance-free battery. It is not necessary to supply battery fluid. In case of a sudden voltage drop, the battery cannot be charged quickly, so it has to be replaced with a new one.

Checking Battery Capacity

1.Check the battery checker on the hour tachometer (Figure 32).

2.When the battery charge gets low, the battery checker lights red.

NOTICE

If an old battery is used, even when the battery checker is not lighted (indicating low charge), the cell starter might not operate because of low charging level. If that happens, change the battery with the new one.

Changing the Battery
