RJ-0856-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:53

The top of the battery may get wet with water such as rainwater because the battery is improperly positioned, and the water can get into the inside of the battery from the vent plugs. As a result, the battery liquid level increases, and the overflowed liquid may spatter on the brake pipe for the left front wheel. At worst, the brake pipe corrodes, causing the brake fluid to leak, and this could result in reduced brake efficiency.

Correction: 
A cover should be fitted on the top of the battery to prevent the water from getting in, and also the battery seat should be replaced with the one with a drain hose. Furthermore, the brake pipe should be inspected, and if any rust is found, it should be replaced with a new one.
