PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE SAFETY WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions.. USE OF LIGHTING When checking fuel, oil, or battery electrolyte, always use lighting with anti-explosion specifications. If such lighting equipment is not used, there is danger of explosion. If work is carried out in dark places without installing lighting, there is danger of injury, so always install proper lighting. Even if it is dark, do not use a lighter or flame instead of light- ing. There is danger of starting a fire, and if the battery gas ignites, it may cause an explosion.
