Check for cracks, or corroded or loose
connections or loose hold-down clamps.
If the terminals of the battery are dirty, clean
them with baking soda water and apply new
grease on them.
If the terminals are loose, tighten them
securely.
Check the electrolyte level if it is between
the upper and lower limits. If the electrolyte
level is too low, remove the vent cap from
each cell. Add distilled water to each cell
up to upper limit.

• When you service the battery, be
very careful not to short the
terminals of the battery with tools
or other metal objects. If the battery
terminals are shorted, it will cause
the battery to overheat, and can
cause damage or explosion.
• Tighten the vent caps securely after
adding distilled water. Otherwise,
the battery electrolyte may be
splashed out and damage your
vehicle, or even cause serious
bodily injury.
• Battery contains sulfuric acid which
is poisonous and corrosive. Wear
protective safety glasses and be
careful not to splash battery fluid
on yourself, clothes, and vehicle.
If battery fluid is splashed on your
skin or in your eye, remove your
contaminated clothes and wash
the part at least 15 minutes.
• If you have swallowed battery fluid,
drink as much water or milk as
possible and immediately see a
doctor.
