MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Battery
Battery Installation and Connections
1. Set the battery in the battery holder.
2. Install the battery vent tube. NOTE: It must be free from
obstructions and securely installed. If not, battery gases could
accumulate and cause an explosion. The tube should be routed
away from the frame and body to prevent corrosion. Avoid skin
contact with electrolyte, which can cause severe burns.
3. First connect and tighten the red (positive) cable.
4. Second connect and tighten the black (negative) cable.
5. Reinstall the battery cover and attach the hold-down strap.
6. Verify that cables are properly routed.
NOTE: When installing a new battery, make sure it's fully charged
prior to its initial use. Using a new battery that has not been fully
charged can damage the battery and result in a shorter life. It can also
hinder vehicle performance.

Battery Storage

When the vehicle is placed in storage for three months or more, the
battery should be removed, charged to proper level, and stored out of
the sun in a cool, dry place. Before reusing, take the battery to your
dealer for testing and recharging.
Power plug leads may need to be bent down so that the battery cover
can be installed.
