It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative
cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked
positive (+ )and negative (-)and identified on the battery case.
Cable clamps should be tight on terminal posts and free of
corrosions.
Apply grease to posts and clamps after tigh tenin g. If a fast charger
is used while battery is in car, disconnect both car battery cables
before connecting the charger to battery. Do not use a fast charger
to provide starting voltage.
Body Mechanisms
All operatin g mechanisms and linkages should be inspected,
cleaned, and lubricated as required to maintain ease of operation
and to provide protection against rust and wear.
Prior to the application of any lubrican t, the parts concern ed
should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit; after lubricating,
excess oil or grease should be removed. Particular atte nti on
should be given to external lock cylinders du ring the fall and
win ter months to ensure protection from water and ice.
The following body mechanisms should be inspected, and if
necessary, all pivot and sliding contact areas of these components
should be relubricated with the lubricant specified.
Engine Oil - Door hinges and hood hinges.

Windshield Wiper Blades
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blades is suggested to remove the
accumulation of the salt and road film. The wiper blades, arms,

mild d e tergent or n on-abrasive cleaner.
If the blades continue to streak or smear, they should be replaced.
Note: Do not operate wipers for long periods on dry glass; this
accelerates deterioration of the rubber elements.
