BATTERY INSPECTION AND CARE
WARNING
Disconnect the 120-volt electric shore cord and the
negative terminal from the coach and chassis
batteries before working on either electrical system.
WARNING
Remove rings, metal watchbands, and other metal
jewelry before working around batteries. Use caution
when using metal tools. If a tool contacts a battery
terminal or metal connected to it, a short circuit
could occur which could cause personal injury,
explosion or fire.
WARNING
Do not allow battery electrolyte to contact skin,
eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. The electrolyte is
a sulphuric acid solution which could cause serious
personal injury or property damage. Wear eye
protection when working with batteries.
Check the external condition of the battery periodically. Look for cracks in
the cover and case. Check the vent plugs and replace if they are cracked or
broken. Keep the battery clean. Accumulations of acid film and dirt may
pennit current to flow between the tenninals and discharge the battery.
