ring inside each cell. Install the filler caps with the
vents pointing to the rear (toward the fuel tank).
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 filler
caps while cleaning.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to
provide good electrical contact.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the
cables, negative (–) cable first, and scrape the clamps
and terminals separately. Connect the cables, positive
(+) cable first, and coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly.

Storing the Battery

If the machine will be stored more than 30 days,
remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store
it on the shelf or on the machine. Leave the cables
disconnected if they are stored on the machine.
Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid
quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To
prevent the battery from freezing, ensure that it is
fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully charged
battery is 1.265 to 1.299.

Checking the Fuses

The fuses are located under the console cover of the
machine.
