7 - MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the batteries
Check the batteries and battery compartment regularly
for dirt, corrosion and damage. Dirt mixed with elec-
trolyte or moisture on the top of the batteries can cause
a discharged condition in the batteries. Use one of the
following methods to clean the batteries.
• Use CASE CONSTRUCTION Battery Saver. Follow
the instructions on the container. This cleaner does
not need water.
Use baking soda or ammonia and flush the outside of
the batteries with water. If you do not have CASE CON-
STRUCTION Battery Saver, use other special cleaners
to prevent corrosion on the battery terminals.
Battery recycling
Batteries and electric accumulators contain several
substances that can have a harmful effect on the
environment if they are not properly recycled after
use. CASE CONSTRUCTION strongly recommends
that you return all used batteries to a CASE CON-
STRUCTION dealer who will dispose of or recycle them
properly. In some countries, this is a legal requirement.
