Your 'Jeep' vehicle has either a
6'volt or l2-volt electrical svstem.
As the electrical ci.cuits
reoain
the same for both
systems, the

diaS,rsms represent both
6-volt and 12.volt wiring Howevet,

l-oltage of the l2-volt system as
accidental short circuits a.e more
cspable of darnsging electrical
units. Also, arcs around the l2_!blt
battery are more apt to ignite any
gas that may be escaping from it
All

tions.
The batt€ry is cithe. a l2-volt'
50 hour capacity or a 6 wolt, 105'
ampere hour capacity. It is located
under the hood on a bracket at-
tached to the right hand side rail
of the frame and is held ffrmly in
the
bracket with
a hold-down
frame,
and two studs and wing
Keep the two wing nuts on tbe
hold-d;wn
f.ame snug but tighten
only with
fing€r Pressure, never
with wrench or Pliers. This Pre
caution will avoid cr.cessive pres"

Keep the battery terminals and
cables clean and tieht- A light coat

cleansing around the terminak with
soda solution or ammonia witl Pre

posits. Do not allow either soda or
ammonia
to get into the battery
cells. Keep the cell caps in Place
and sealed during the cleaniDe.

A hydrometer reading of r.260
indicates that the battery is fully
charg€d. Should the reading fall
below 1.225, it will be necessary
to recharg€
the battery or else
use the lights and battery spa.inglv
until the battery
has had the oP-
portunity to build its€lf up agarn.
