6. Check specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer to
assure each has a reading of 1.270 or higher.
BATTERY TERMINALS/TERMINAL BOLTS
Use corrosion resistant grease on battery bolts. See
Battery Installation.
CONVENTIONAL BATTERY INSPECTION/
REMOVAL
The battery is located under the seat and the right rear
fender see
page 9.20
.
Inspect the battery fluid level. When the battery fluid
nears the lower level, remove the battery and fill with
distilled water only
to the upper level line. To remove the
battery:
1. Disconnect holder strap and remove covers.
2. Disconnect battery negative (-) (black) cable first,
followed by the positive (+) (red) cable.
Whenever removing or reinstalling the battery,
disconnect the negative (black) cable first and reinstall
the negative cable last!
3. Remove the battery.
4. Remove the filler caps and add
distilled water only
as
needed to bring each cell to the proper level. Do not
overfill the battery.
Refill using only distilled water. Tap water contains
minerals that are harmful to a battery.
Do not allow cleaning solution or tap water inside the
battery. Battery life may be reduced.
5. Reinstall the battery caps.
CONVENTIONAL BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Clean battery cables and terminals with a stiff wire
brush. Corrosion can be removed using a solution of one
cup water and one tablespoon baking soda.
Rinse well with clean water and dry thoroughly.
2. Route the cables correctly.
3. Reinstall battery, attaching positive (+) (red) cable first
and then the negative (-) (black) cable. Coat terminals
and bolt threads with Grease.
4. Install clear battery vent tube from vehicle to battery
vent.
Vent tube must be free from obstructions and kinks and
securely installed. If not, battery gases could accumulate
and cause an explosion. The vent tube should be routed
away from frame and body to prevent contact with
electrolyte. Avoid skin contact with electrolyte, as severe
burns could result. If electrolyte contacts the vehicle
frame, corrosion will occur.
5. Reinstall the holder strap.
CONVENTIONAL BATTERY TESTING
Whenever a service complaint is related to either the starting
or charging systems, the battery should be
checked first.
Following are three tests which can easily be made on a
battery to determine its condition: OCV Test,
Specific Gravity Test and Load Test.
