Battery Inspections/Maintenance
Check Battery Cables and Wiring
Check the battery compartment for any signs of worn insulation, frayed cables or damaged
cable ends. If found, see your authorized GEM dealer or other qualified service person for
service before operating.
WARNING! If battery cable ends are damaged or corroded, they should be replaced or cleaned as
necessary. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation, possibly leading to fire,
which may result in serious injury or death.
Check Battery Hold-Down Bars
Battery hold-down bars should be snug to keep batteries from moving while the vehicle is in
motion, but not so tight as to crack or buckle the battery case. Torque fasteners to 9.5 lb-ft
(13 Nm).
