Always check electrolyte level after

rosion from the terminals periodically
and coat terminals with grease.
Maintain the battery at full charge
during the winter to prevent freezing.
When water is added during freezing
weather, run the engine for at least
an hour to make sure water and elec-
trolyte have mixed thoroughly.
