ELECTRicAL
SYSTEMS
3. Flush with clean water. Foaming around terminals or on top
of the battery is normal acid neutralization. Avoid getting the
soda solution in the battery.
4. Dry the cables and terminals.
5. Do not use grease on the bare metal inside the cable
terminals to prevent corrosion. Grease is an insulator.
Electricity will not flow through it. A plastic ignition spray will
protect the terminals after you have cleaned and reinstalled
them.
6. Check the battery, including water level, at least once a
week. Keep the carrier and hold down hardware clean and
free of corrosion and chemical accumulation.
WARNING
Disconnect the 120-vo/t
shore cord and the nega-
tive terminal from the
coach and chassis bat-
teries before working on
either electrical system.
If you work on the elec-
trical systems with the
power cord connected,
you may be shocked,
electrocuted, or severely
burned.
WARNING
Remove rings, metal
watchbands, and other
metal jewelry before
working around a bat-
tery. Use caution when
using metal tools. If a
tool contacts a battery
terminal or metal con-
nected to it, a short
circuit could occur which
could cause personal
injury, explosion or fire.
WARNING
Do not allow battery
electrolyte to contact
skin, eyes, fabrics, or
painted surfaces. The
electrolyte is a sulphuric
acid solution which could
cause serious personal
injury or property dam-
age. Wear eye protection
when working with
batteries.
