WARNING
1.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
a month. Fill to the manufacturer’s rec-
ommended level when necessary. Top
up only with distilled water (or pure de-
ionized water suitable to use in batter-
ies).
Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is
poisonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
q
Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic
fluid as it can cause severe burns or
permanent eye injury.
q
Wear protective eye gear when han-
dling or working near batteries.

Always keep the battery in a good state
of charge. Installing a voltmeter will help
you monitor your battery. If you will not
use the boat for a month or more, re-
move the battery from the boat and store
it in a cool, dark place. Completely re-
charge the battery before using it.
If the battery will be stored for longer
than a month, check the specific gravity
of the fluid at least once a month and re-
charge the battery when it is low.
Batteries also generate explosive hydro-
gen gas; therefore, you should always
follow these preventive measures:
q
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated ar-
ea.
q
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,
or open flames (for example: welding
equipment, lighted cigarettes, and so
on.)
NOTE:
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
Consult a Yamaha dealer when charging or
re-charging batteries.
q
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC
FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
