MAINTENANCE<br />
Battery<br />
Battery Connections<br />
Keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. When<br />
cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush.<br />
Wash terminals and connections with a solution of one tablespoon<br />
baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry with<br />
clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or<br />
petroleum jelly.<br />
CAUTION<br />
Tap water contains minerals that will damage a battery and shorten<br />
its life. Use only distilled water to refill your battery. Never allow<br />
cleaning solution or tap water to enter the battery.<br />
