Battery or Battery Cable - Disconnect
2. Check the condition of the electrolyte with a
suitable battery tester.
3. Install the caps.
4. Keep the batteries clean.
Clean the battery case with one of the following
cleaning solutions:
•
Use a solution of 0.1 kg (0.2 lb) baking soda
and 1 L (1 qt) of clean water.
•
Use a solution of ammonium hydroxide.
Thoroughly rinse the battery case with clean water.
Battery or Battery Cable -
Disconnect
The battery cables or the batteries should not be
removed with the battery cover in place. The bat-
tery cover should be removed before any servic-
ing is attempted.
Removing the battery cables or the batteries with
the cover in place may cause a battery explosion
resulting in personal injury.
1. Turn the start switch to the OFF position. Turn the
ignition switch (if equipped) to the OFF position
and remove the key and all electrical loads.
2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Ensure
that the cable cannot contact the terminal. When
four 12 volt batteries are involved, two negative
connection must be disconnected.
3. Remove the positive connection.
4. Clean all disconnected connection and battery
terminals.
5. Use a fine grade of sandpaper to clean the
terminals and the cable clamps. Clean the items
until the surfaces are bright or shiny. DO NOT
remove material excessively. Excessive removal
of material can cause the clamps to not fit
correctly. Coat the clamps and the terminals with
a suitable silicone lubricant or petroleum jelly.
6. Tape the cable connections in order to help
prevent accidental starting.
7. Proceed with necessary system repairs.
8. In order to connect the battery, connect the
positive connection before the negative connector.

4. Inspect the belts (1) for cracks. Inspect the belts
for contamination. If necessary, replace the belts.
Refer to "Replacement" for more information.
5. The belt tension must be checked at position
A. Use a suitable spring balance and a suitable
straight edge in order to check the belt tension.
6. The belt tension should be 62 N (14 lb) with
a maximum deflection at position B of 16 mm
(0.63 inch).
7. Adjust the belts if the belt tension exceeds 62 N
(14 lb). Refer to "Adjustment" for more information.
8. Tighten the fasteners for the air pipes (not shown)
to a torque of 120 N·m (88.5 lb ft).
