Batteries – Electric Vehicles
CAUTION
• Do not overfill the batteries.
3. The battery hold-downs should be tight enough so that the batteries do not move while the vehicle is in motion,
but not so tight as to crack or buckle the battery case. Tighten retaining nuts on the two inner hold-downs to
110 in·lb (12.4 N·m), and tighten the retaining nuts on the two outer hold-downs to 55 in·lb (6.2 N·m). The
terminal connections should be clean and tight, and any worn insulation or frayed wires should be replaced.
Tighten battery terminals to proper torque. See Connecting the Batteries – Electric Vehicles on page 13.
See following WARNING.
WARNING
• If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, replace or clean them as necessary. Failure
to do so may cause them to overheat during operation and can result in fire, property damage, or
personal injury.
4. After use, charge the batteries. The batteries should never be left discharged any longer than absolutely
necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).
