Maintaining the battery
Terminals
1.
A loose or corroding terminal causes failure in connection:
Eliminate white powder, if noticed on the terminal, by pour-
ing warm water over it to disable and then grease the termi-
nal.
2.
Remove the terminal, if it is extremely corroded, from the
battery to brush off the corrosion using a wire brush or sand-
paper. Then connect the terminal tightly to the battery and
grease the terminal.
Note: Remove the negative terminal (-) first, but replace the
same, second.
CAUTION!
1. Stop the engine when attempt to work on the battery and ter-
minals.
2. Be careful not permitting any foreign matter to come into the
battery by means of putting the lids tightly in place.
3. Be careful not causing a short circuit on the battery nor
nearing fire, such as smoking fire, because the battery-emitted
gas is inflammable.
4. Be cautious enough not to contact the battery electrolyte.
When it comes into contact with an eye or skin, wash it off
immediately with plenty of water and then see a doctor.
5. Charge the battery with the lids off in a well-ventilated area.
6. When battery electrolyte is spilt, be certain to wash it off
with water thoroughly the spot and adjoining area.
