a month.  Fill to the manufacturers  rec-
ommended level  when necessary.  Top

poisonous and highly caustic.

sures:

fluid  as it  can  cause severe  burns  or
permanent eye injury.

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.)

DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
Consult a Yamaha dealer  when charging or
re-charging batteries.
