harness and electrical equipment. The
fuses are located in two fuse boxes.

It is unnecessary to periodically check the
battery fluid level or periodically refill with
distilled water.
However, if the battery fluid level is below
the lower level, remove the cap. Fill to the
upper level with distilled water.

CAUTION

it will shorten battery life.
