WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Check or replace the fuel pipes after stopping the engine. Broken fuel pipes can cause fires.

If the clamp band is loose, apply oil to the screw of the band, and tighten the band securely.

Are the fuel pipes, made of rubber, worn out?

If the fuel pipes, made of rubber, become worn out, replace them and clamp bands every 2 years.

Are the fuel pipes and clamp bands found worn or damaged before 2 years' pass?

WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte contact your body or clothing. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since the diluted sulfuric acid solution burns skin and eats holes in clothing.

DANGER! Do not use or charge the battery if its fluid level stands below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark. Otherwise, the battery component parts may deteriorate earlier than expected, which may shorten the battery's service life or cause an explosion.

WARNING! To avoid personal injury or death: When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away from the battery at all times, especially when charging the battery.

IMPORTANT! Connect the charger positive terminal to the battery positive terminal, and negative to the negative. When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with the negative terminal first. When connecting the cable to the battery, start with the positive terminal first. If reversed, the contact of tools on the battery may cause a short.

Check the battery's fluid level

Is the battery's fluid level between the UPPER and LOWER levels?

Upload a photo of the battery's fluid level

Is the battery being activated safely, with no open sparks and flames nearby?
