should
be
checked before each ride and at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-

tion.
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the electro-
lyte level.
2. Check the electrolyte level in the
