Battery
The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid
levels cannot be checked.

Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean
and free of corrosive build-up.
•
After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a
light coat of petroleum jelly or grease to both
terminals
•
Always keep the rubber boot positioned over the
positive terminal to prevent shorting.
IMPORTANT:

disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s
