BATTERY<br />
Battery :<br />
Battery is located below driver seat<br />
Check the battery for proper<br />
electrolyte level and corrosion on the<br />
terminals.<br />
1. Check the battery for electrolyte<br />
level against the marking on the<br />
battery outer case.<br />
2. Check the battery terminals for<br />
corrosion (a white or yellowish<br />
powder). To remove it, cover the<br />
terminals with a solution of baking<br />
soda. It will bubble up and turn<br />
brown.<br />
3. When this stops wash it off with<br />
plain water. Dry off the battery<br />
with a cloth or paper towel.<br />
4. Coat the terminal with petroleum<br />
jelly to prevent future corrosion.<br />
Use a proper wrench to loosen and<br />
remove cables from the terminals.<br />
Always disconnect the negative<br />
(-ve) cable first and reconnect it<br />
last.<br />
MAINTENANCE<br />
Clean the battery terminals with a<br />
terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.<br />
Reconnect and tighten the cables, coat<br />
the terminals with petroleum jelly.<br />
Ensure that battery is securely<br />
mounted.<br />
If you need to connect the battery to a<br />
charger, disconnect both cables to<br />
prevent damage to the vehicle’s<br />
electrical system.<br />
NOTICE<br />
During normal operation, the battery<br />
generates gas which is explosive<br />
in nature, a spark or open flame<br />
can cause the battery to explode<br />
causing very serious injuries.<br />
Keep all sparks & open flames and<br />
smoking materials away from the<br />
battery.<br />
Getting electrolyte in your eyes or<br />
on the skin can cause severe<br />
burns. Wear protective clothing<br />
and a face shield or have a skilled<br />
technician to do the battery<br />
maintenance.<br />
The battery contains sulphuric acid<br />
(electrolyte) which is poisonous<br />
and highly corrosive in nature.<br />
Always ensure to get the specific<br />
gravity of the battery checked as<br />
per the maintenance schedule.<br />
