(baking soda) and water and thoroughly dried before
priming and painting with a corrosion resistant paint.
The batteries should be placed into the battery racks
and the battery hold downs tightened to 45 - 55 in. lbs.
(5 - 6 Nm) torque, to prevent movement but not tight
enough to cause distortion of the battery cases.
Inspect all wires and terminals. Clean any corrosion
from the battery terminals or the wire terminals with a
solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and brush
clean if required.
To prevent battery explosion that could result
in severe personal injury or death, extreme
care must be used with aerosol containers of
battery terminal protectant. Insulate the metal
container to prevent the metal can from con-
tacting battery terminals which could result in
an explosion.
Use care to connect the battery wires as shown (Ref.
Fig. 5). Ensure that all battery terminals are installed
with crimp up. Tighten the battery post hardware to 90 -
100 in. lbs. (6 - 8 Nm) torque. Do not over-torque the ter-
minal stud nut, this will cause a "mushroom" effect on
the battery post which will prevent the terminal nut from
being properly tightened.Protect the battery terminal-
sand battery wire terminals with a commercially avail-
able protective coating
