MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
If the batteries are replaced, make sure they are the exact type and model originally supplied with the vehicle.
Failure to follow this caution can result in damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
Remove battery hold downs and
cables. Lift out batteries with a com-
mercially available lifting device.
If the batteries have been cleaned
and any acid in the battery rack
areas neutralized as recommended,
no corrosion to the battery racks or
surrounding area should be present.
Any corrosion found should be imme-
diately removed with a putty knife
and a wire brush. The area should be
washed with a solution of sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) and water
and thoroughly dried before priming
and painting with a corrosion resis-
tant 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 distor-
tion of the battery cases.
Inspect all wires and terminals. Clean
any corrosion from the battery termi-
nals or the wire terminals with a solu-
tion of sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda) and brush clean if required.
Use care to connect the battery wires as shown.
Tighten the battery post hardware to 90 - 100 in. lbs. (6 -8 Nm) torque. Do not over-torque the terminal 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 terminals and battery wire terminals with a commercially available coating.
