Replenishing Battery Fluid
A poorly maintained battery will
deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery
fluid level often. The fluid level should
be kept between the upper and lower
level marks (1).
To refill use only distilled water. Tap
water contains minerals that are harmful
to a battery.
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result
in an explosion and cause serious injury or death. When removing
the battery, always disconnect the negative (black) cable first.
When reinstalling the battery, always connect the negative (black)
cable last.

Battery Removal

1. Disconnect the hold-down straps holding the electrical box and
battery in position, and remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the battery vent tube from the battery.
3. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.
4. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable next.
5. Lift the battery out of the vehicle. Be careful not to tip it sideways and
spill electrolyte.
If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of one
tablespoon baking soda and one cup water to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
