Operation and Maintenance
4. The hold down bars should be snug to keep batteries from moving
while the vehicle is in motion, but not so tight as to crack or buckle
the battery case. Make sure the lynch pin is in the proper position
and locked.
5. Worn insulation, frayed cables, or damaged cable ends should be
replaced immediately by a GEM certifi ed technician.
NOTE:
After each use, the batteries should be charged. The batteries
should never be left discharged.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Lead-acid batteries are recyclable. Return whole scrap batteries to
distributor, manufacturer or lead smelter for recycling. For neutralized
spills, place residue in acid-resistant containers with absorbent material,
sand or earth and dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local and/or state
environmental offi cials regarding disposal information. You can also
contact GEM Customer Service at 866-764-0616 for information.
If battery cable terminals are damaged or corroded, they
should be replaced or cleaned as necessary. Failure to do
so may cause them to overheat during operation.
CAUTION!
