Maintenance

Servicing the Battery

Check the electrolyte level in the battery every
25 hours. Always keep the battery clean and fully
charged. Use a paper towel to clean the battery
case. If the battery terminals are corroded, clean
them with a solution of four parts water and one
part baking soda. Apply a light coating of grease
to the battery terminals to prevent corrosion.
