Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
The correct cleaning technique is to spray the top and
sides of the battery with a solution of sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) and water. This solution is best applied
with a garden type sprayer equipped with a non metallic
spray wand or a plastic spray bottle. The solution
should consist of the amounts of sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) and clear water shown below (Ref Fig. 28
on page 19). In addition to the battery, special attention
should be paid to metal components adjacent to the bat-
tery which should also be sprayed with the sodium bicar-
bonate (baking soda) solution.

Allow the solution to sit for at least three minutes; use a
soft bristle brush or cloth to wipe the tops of the battery to
remove any residue that could contribute to the self dis-
charge of the battery. Rinse the entire area with low pres-
sure clear water. Do not use a pressure washer.

BRAKES

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death, always evaluate pedal travel before
operating a vehicle to verify some braking func-
tion is present.
All driving brake tests must be done in a safe
location with regard for the safety of all person-
nel.

Fig. 29 Typical Brake Performance Test

Over time, a subtle loss of performance may take place; there-
fore, it is important to establish the standard with a new vehicle.
The Periodic Brake Performance Test should be per-
formed regularly (Ref. Fig. 16 on page 14) as an evalua-
tion of braking system performance or if there is a
decrease in braking effectiveness. It is useful as a
method of identifying subtle loss of performance over
time.
