5. Charge:
Battery
(refer to the appropriate charging method
illustration)
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%

HANDLING NOTE
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot
fluid and steam may be blown out under
pressure, which could cause serious
injury.
When the engine has cooled, open the radi-
ator cap by the following procedure:
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radi-
ator cap, slowly rotate the cap counter-
clockwise to the detent. This procedure
allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped,
press down on the cap while turning coun-
terclockwise and remove it.
