Checking battery exterior

Hold-down clamp

Check the battery for corroded or loose connections,

cracks, or loose hold-down clamps.

1. If the battery is corroded, wash it off with a solution of warm

water and baking soda. Coat the terminals with grease to

prevent further corrosion.

2. If the connections are loose, tighten the clamp bolts — but

do not overtighten.

3. Tighten the hold-down clamp only enough to keep the

battery firmly in place. Overtightening may damage the battery
