hurt you.

have a skilled mechanic do the battery servicing.

coated with a white substance, wash with warm
water and wipe clean.
3. If the terminals are heavily corroded, clean
and polish the terminals with a wire brush or
sandpaper. Wear safety glasses.
4. After cleaning, reinstall the battery.
The battery has a limited life span. Consult your
dealer about when you should replace the battery.
Always replace the battery with another maintenance-
free battery of the same type.
