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-volt
shore cord and the nega-
tive terminal from the
coach batteries before
working on either electri-
cal system. If you work
on the electrical systems
with the power cord con-
nected, 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.
