BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Checking the Battery Fluid

must be even with the split ring full mark. If not, add
distilled water.
3. Reinstall the filler cap.
Cleaning the Battery and Cables
1. Disconnect the cables from the battery, negative
cable first (B, Figure 21).
2. Remove the battery and clean the compartment with
a solution of baking soda and water.
3. Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a
wire brush until shiny.
4. Reinstall the battery and reattach the battery cables,
positive first.
5. Coat the cable ends and battery terminals with
grease or petroleum jelly.
WARNING
When removing or installing battery cables, dis-
connect the negative cable FIRST and reconnect
it LAST. If not done in this order, the positive ter-
minal can be shorted to the frame by a tool.
WARNING
Be careful when handling the battery. Avoid
spilling electrolyte. Keep flames and sparks
away from the battery.
