SECTION 6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Further precautions are:
·
Remove the battery from the coach.
·
Store it in a cool place on a wooden or rubber
pad to inhibit conductive transfer.
·
Check the state of charge periodically to
avoid discharge or sulfating.
To ensure that the battery will always accept
and hold a charge, follow these simple mainte-
nance practices.
·
Make sure the batteries always remain se-
curely clamped in the battery tray.
·
Make sure battery cable clamps are tight on
the terminal posts and are free of corrosion.
·
Neutralize corrosion buildup or acid film on
top of battery by washing with a baking soda/
water solution. Rinse with clear water.
NOTE: Make sure vent caps are on securely to
prevent baking soda solution from enter-
ing the battery and contaminating the
electrolyte fluid.
·
Clean and tighten battery terminals and have
the specific gravity checked at least once a
year.
·
Every two months, or more often in hot
weather, check the battery fluid level. Fill to
approximately 3/8 inch above the plates. DO
NOT OVERFILL. If fluid is added during
freezing weather, the motor home should be
driven several miles to mix water and electro-
lyte to prevent freezing.
·
Fluid level check may be omitted if equipped
with maintenance-free batteries.
California Proposition 65 Warning:
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the
state of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
WARNING
Before removing any battery cables or
battery, make sure all 12-volt equip-
ment in the motor home is off and the
power cord has been disconnected.
Replace any damaged cables at once.
Always remove jewelry and wear pro-
tective clothing and eye covering
when checking or handling batteries
Refasten the retainer strap when
returning the battery to the compart-
ment.
To prevent damage to batteries or
wiring, always observe battery polar-
ity. Always attach positive (+) cable
to positive terminal and negative (-)
cable to negative terminal. The bat-
tery terminals are marked (+) and
negative (-).
Disconnect both battery cables before
connecting a “booster” battery charge
to a battery inside the battery com-
partment.
Never try to charge or boost a frozen
battery. A battery explosion could
result.
