Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking

soda and water (1 cup per gallon of water) and then the baking soda solution rinsed off the battery. Do not

allow the solution to get into the battery. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry and then spray

them with Club Car battery terminal spray (Club Car Part No.1014305). See following CAUTION.

Be sure battery clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 12 ft-Ib (16.3 N·m). A loose clamp may allow the bat-

tery to become damaged from vibration or jarring.

If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged

any longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).
