Check the battery for corroded or loose
terminal connections, cracks, or loose
hold−down clamp.
a. If the battery is corroded, wash it off
with a solution of warm water and baking
soda. Coat the outside of the terminals
with grease to prevent further corrosion.
b. If the terminal connections are loose,
tighten their clamp nuts—but do not over-
tighten.
c. Tighten the hold−down clamp only
enough to keep the battery firmly in place.
Overtightening may damage the battery
case.
