CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FASTECH
Batteries
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can
cause severe burns. Wear eye protection
and protective clothing to avoid contact
with skin.
Check the batteries frequently for signs of
corrosion. If corrosion is found, clean terminal
posts with a baking soda and water solution and a
wire brush. Before cleaning, remove the vent caps
and seal the vent wells with corks to prevent the
solution from getting inside the battery.
NOTICE
Some batteries are sealed and cannot be
filled.
Check the fluid levels in the battery cells. A level
approximately 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above
the plates is sufficient. If needed, fill with distilled
water. Do not overfill.

! WARNING
Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas.
Do not attempt to start an engine with
jumper cables under any circumstances.
Keep all sparks, flames and smoking
material away from batteries. The risk of a
spark at the battery post, igniting gasoline
or hydrogen fumes, is too great.
Circuit Breakers
All electrical circuits are protected from overload
by the use of circuit breakers. In the event of an
overload or short circuit, the circuit breaker will
trip. You should determine and correct the cause
of a problem before resetting the circuit breaker.
Contact your Formula dealer if a circuit breaker
continues to trip.
Determine and correct the cause of a
problem before resetting a tripped circuit
breaker.
To reset a push-button circuit breaker at the
remote circuit breaker panels, wait about one
minute for the breaker to cool. Push the breaker
button in fully.
To reset a switch-type circuit breaker at the cabin
distribution panel, wait about one minute for the
breaker to cool. Push the breaker tab back into
place.
Some accessories, such as the stereo, have a
fuse located in the positive lead. Refer to the
accessories operator’s manuals in your Owner
Information Binder for location of in-line fuses.
Do not exceed the recommended fuse size
or bypass the fuse safeguard. Install the
proper type and rating fuses whenever
replacing or changing fuses. Continuous
fuse failure indicates a severe problem and
requires immediate attention. Failure to
install the correct fuse may result in
damage to the electrical system or
personal injury.
