Battery
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The battery is sealed for life and no topping-up is
required –
Do not attempt to remove the cover!
Keep the battery case clean and dry and
occasionally coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly.
Battery Disconnecting
Before disconnecting the battery, switch off the
engine and all electrical equipment.
Always
disconnect the earth ('-') lead first and reconnect
it last.
When reconnecting, make sure the battery leads
cannot be damaged through chafing against other
engine components.
Battery Charging
Batteries generate explosive gases, contain
corrosive acid and supply levels of electric current
high enough to cause burns. Always take the
following precautions:
- Shield your eyes and avoid leaning over the
battery.
- Recharge the battery out of the vehicle and
keep the area around the top well ventilated.
- Ensure naked lights and sparks are well clear of
the battery charging area (batteries emit
inflammable hydrogen gas during, and for
about 15 minutes after, charging).
