 CAUTION

• When reconnecting the cable to the

battery, be careful to ensure the
clamps are fully seated, then
tighten the retaining blots so the
clamps will not vibrate loose.

• Be sure to attach the red cable to

the positive (+) battery terminal
and the black cable to the negative
(-) battery terminal.

Connecting the vehicle’s battery
cables to the wrong terminals can
result in personal injuries and dam-
age to your vehicle and other prop-
erty.

8. Coat the terminals with petroleum

jelly or terminal grease to help pre-
vent future corrosion.

NOTE

Be sure to keep in mind that the posi-
tive terminal (+) is first when con-
necting, and the negative terminal (-)
is first when disconnecting.

NOTE

Batteries contain toxic material. Used
batteries can be hazardous to health
and environment.
• Do not dispose of battery with

household waste. Use locally au-
thorized automotive waste disposal
facilities only.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

To extend the life of your vehicle’s bat-
tery, be sure to do the following:
• Keep the battery mounted securely.
• Keep the top of the battery clean and

dry.

• Keep the terminals and connections

clean, tight and coated with petro-
leum jelly or terminal grease.

• Immediately rinse off any spilled

electrolyte using a solution of water
and baking soda.

• If your vehicle will not be used for

an extended time, disconnect the
cable from the negative (-) terminal.

• Charge a disconnected battery every

six weeks.
