    Your  left the factory as a 12 volt, If it has a 6 volt battery that is incorrect.

Do you have a picture or number of the battery that's in it?  

Interesting that it even runs if it's a 6V battery.

A 12 volt battery has 6 cells so 6 caps to add fluid.

A 6 volt battery has 3 cells so 3 caps to add fluid.

   Pretty sure you have a 12 V battery.    I have never seen a 6V battery that would fit in a  WH battery tray.
