Battery
After every 40 hours of operation or weekly, whichever
occurs first, check the electrolyte level in the battery and
clean the battery and connections. Dirt and fluid on the

Corrosion of the battery terminals or loose connections
will cause poor battery performance.

two clamps. Wipe up any spilled gasoline and
dispose of rags in an approved container.

sary to check the element once or twice daily to
prevent engine damage.
