Keep the battery clean. If the battery is left in a dirty condition, contaminants can get
mixed into the battery fluid, the battery plates can be damaged, short circuits can occur
on the top surface of the battery and the battery's service life can be reduced.
Removing the Battery
When the battery is to be removed, disconnect the battery cable from the negative
terminal first. If the battery cable remains connected to the negative terminal, any
contact made by tools and the like between the positive terminal and the vehicle body
could lead to a short-circuit and dangerous electrical shocks. The electrical system can
also be damaged.
