CHAPTER

6. Slide
the battery out of
the
frame.
7.
Wipe
offany of the
highly corrosive
residue that
may have dripped
from the battery during
removal.
WARNING
Protect
your
eyes, skin and clothing.
If
electrolyte
gets
into
your
eyes,
flush
your
eyes thoroughly
with
clean
water
and
get prompt
medical attention.
CAUTION
Be
careful
not to spill battery electrolyte
on
painted
or
polished
surfaces.
The
liquid contains
sulfuric acid
that is
hishly
corrosive and
will
damage
the
finish.
If
it is spilled,
wash
it off
immediately
with
soapy
water
and
rinse
thoroughly
with
clean
water.
8.
Remove
the
caps
from
the battery
cells and add
distilled
water
to correct
the
fluid level. Never add
electrolyte
(acid)
to correct the
level.
NOTE
If distilled
water
has been added,
reinstall the battery
caps and
gently
shake the battery
for
several minutes
to
mix the existing electrolyte
with
the
new
water.
9. After the
fluid
level has
been corrected
and the
battery allowed to stand
a
few minutes, remove the
battery caps and
check the specific
gravity
of the
electrolyte
in
each
cell
with
a
hydrometer
(Figure
6). See
Battery
Testing in
this chapter.
10.
After
the
battery
has been
refilled,
recharged
or
replaced,
install
it
by
reversing these
removal
steps.
CAUTION
If
you
removed the
breather
tube
from
the
frame,
be sure
to
route it so
that
residue
will
not drain
onto
any
part
of
the
bike's
frame.
The tube
must be
free
of bends
or
twists
as any
restriction
may
pressurize
the
battery
and damage
it.
Testing
Hydrometer
testing
is the best
way to check
battery
condition.
Use
a
hydrometer
with
numbered
graduations
from
1.100 to
1.300
rather
than
one
with
just
color-coded
bands.
To use the
hydrometer, squeeze
the rubber
ball,
insert the
tip
into the cell and
release the
pressure
on the
ball.
Draw enough
electrolyte
to
float
the
weighted
float
inside
the
hydrometer.
Note the
number
in line
with
the surface
of
the electrolyte;
this
is
the
specific
gravity
for
this
cell. Squeezethe
rubber
ball
Take
reading at
eye level
Do not suck
in too much
electrolyte
