DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid,
which is fatal if consumed and causes severe
burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte or allow it to
contact your skin, eyes or clothing. Wear
safety glasses to shield your eyes and
rubber gloves to protect your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
•
Always keep the battery clean and fully charged.
•
If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them
with a solution of 4 parts water and 1 part baking
soda.
•
Apply a light coating of grease to the battery
terminals to prevent corrosion.
•
Maintain the battery electrolyte level.
•
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it
periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or
bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top surface
with water after cleaning. Do not remove the fill
cap while cleaning.
•
Ensure that the battery cables are kept tight on the
terminals to provide good electrical contact.
•
Maintain the cell electrolyte level with distilled or
demineralized water. Do not fill the cells above the
bottom of the fill ring inside each cell.
