WARNING
• Do not jump-start the vehicle. To charge the battery, use an automotive-type 12-volt charger
rated at 10 amps or less.
The battery in the gasoline vehicle is a 12-volt, low-maintenance battery that requires infrequent watering
(Figure 18).
Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking
soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off the battery. Do
not allow this solution to enter the battery. Be sure terminals are tight (battery terminals should be tightened
to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m)). Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI
1014305). See following CAUTION.
