BATTERY
If you are using a maintenance-free battery, inspect the window area according to the instructions on the battery to make sure the battery is in good condition.
If you are not using a maintenance-free battery, the battery fluid level should be checked every 100 hours of operation or 12 months. The battery solution level must be kept between the MAX and the MIN level lines at all times. If the level drops below the MIN level line, add DISTILLED WATER ONLY until the battery solution level reaches the MAX level line.
