condition of the battery plates, and the electro-
lyte level.)

WARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
CAUTION:
Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.
Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause
battery overheating and battery plate
damage.
If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the machine. (If charging
has to be done with the battery mounted
on the machine, disconnect the negative
battery lead from the battery terminal.)
To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the bat-
tery charger leads are connected to the
battery.
Check the charge of the battery, as shown
in the charts and the following example.
Example
Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V
Charging time = 6.5 hours
Charge of the battery = 20 ~ 30% Å
