MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Minor Maintenance
Battery Connections
Battery terminals and connections should be kept free of corrosion. If
cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush.
Wash them off with a solution of baking soda and water (One
tablespoon of baking soda to one cup of water). Rinse well with tap
water and dry off with clean shop cloths. Coat the terminals with
dielectric grease PN 2871066.
Battery Charging
When using a battery charger
connect the battery to the
charger before turning on the
charger. This prevents the
possibility of sparks at the
terminals which could ignite the
battery gases.
Do not connect charger cables to
the battery unless the charger is
unplugged.
1. Remove the caps from the cells. Add distilled water if necessary to
bring the electrolyte up to the proper level.
2. Connect the battery to a charger. Set the charging rate at 1.9 amps
and charge the battery for ten hours.
Keep the battery away from sparks and open flames during
charging because the battery gives off gases which are explosive.
If you smell fuel do not attempt to charge the battery. Take the
craft to your dealer for immediate inspection.
