VI. MAINTENANCE
User should perform regular maintenance on vehicle to ensure good performance.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE:
WARNING! Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous; the acid can cause
severe burns. Battery gasses are flammable and explosive. Keep away from open
flames at all times. Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles when
handling batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
a)
Cleaning of Batteries:
The exterior of the battery, the battery connections and battery cables, should always
be cleaned of any acidic corrosion. The battery compartment should be checked and
cleaned once every 2-4 weeks. To clean the battery, place vehicle in wash area, place
the vehicle in the TOW position, make sure the battery caps are tight, and use a
common garden hose. If corrosion persists or has gone unattended and has gotten bad,
special attention must be used in cleaning. Using a gallon jug, place 3TBS of baking
soda and 1tsp of dish soap into jug and fill with warm/hot water. Dump over all
batteries and let soak for 5-10 min. rinse off with water hose.
WARNING! Although the electronic components are covered, do not use high
pressure or direct spray to anything other than the batteries. Wait 10 min for car to
dry before driving.
b)
Checking Terminals and Nuts:
The connection of the cable and battery should be kept tight at all times (about 70
inch pounds) and in good condition. Every time you check the water levels on the
batteries, you should check the tightness of the cables to prevent spark or damage to
battery post. Any cables that look corroded or damaged should be replaced
immediately.
c)

deep cycle batteries are not like the ones you will find in an automobile. A deep cycle
battery should be run to 50% of its charge capacity before charging. This will ensure
