(4) Inspection of Battery
Fire due to Electric Short-Circuits
Always turn off the battery switch or detach the earth cable (-) before
inspecting the electrical system. Failure to do so could cause short-
circuiting and fires.
Proper Ventilation of the Battery Area
Be sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated and there is
nothing which could start a fire. During operation and charging, hydrogen
gas is emitted from the battery and can be easily ignited.
Battery Fluid
Battery fluid is diluted sulfuric acid. It can blind you if it gets in your
eyes, or burn your skin. Keep the fluid away from your body. Wash it off
immediately with a large quantity of fresh water if you get any on you.
Check the level of fluid in the battery.
●
When the amount of fluid nears the lower limit, fill
with battery fluid (available in the market) to the
upper limit. If operation continues with insufficient
battery fluid, the battery life is shortened, and the
battery may overheat and explode.
Battery fluid tends to evaporate more quickly in
●
the summer, and the fluid level should be
checked earlier than the specified times.
If the engine cranking speed is so slow that the
●
engine does not start up, recharge the battery.
If the engine still will not start after charging,
●
replace the battery.
[NOTICE]
The capacity of the specified alternator and battery is sufficient for regular operation,
however, the capacity may be insufficient, if they are used for other purposes such as
lights inside the boat, etc. Consult your Yanmar dealer or distributor.
WARNING
Local supply
Follow the instructions and precautions in
the manual from the battery maker.
