Disconnect the battery cables from one of the main batteries and remove the battery from the CartManager
XD+.
•
Clean the terminals with a solution of 1 tbsp of baking soda to one cup of warm water.
•
Use a wire brush or medium sandpaper to remove any corrosion or buildup.
•
While the battery is out, buff the cable connectors down to bare metal with sandpaper, a wire brush or a wire
wheel.
•
Use a clean dry cloth to wipe the connectors and terminals.
•
Replace the battery, reconnect cables and tighten all connections.
•
Spread a thin layer of waterproof grease over the terminals and connectors.
•
Replace the plastic terminal covers.

Repeat this process for the next battery.
