BATTERY
The gel-cell battery is maintenance free.
For longest service life, battery should be
kept clean by wiping it off with a paper
towel. Any corrosion around battery should
be removed by applying a solution of one
part baking soda to four parts water. A light
coating of grease or petroleum jelly may be
applied to all exposed terminal surfaces to
prevent corrosion.
 CAUTION:
When servicing the battery or any other
part of the electrical system, or if the battery
must be removed for any reason, always,
disconnect negative (ground) cable FIRST
and reconnect it LAST to avoid possibility of
electrical shorts.
At temperatures below 32° F (0° C), full
charge state must be maintained to prevent
cell electrolyte from freezing and causing
permanent battery damage.
 CAUTION:
Batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas.
Avoid creating sparks and open flames and
do not smoke when working near batteries.
Battery electrolyte solution is poisonous
and can be injurious to eyes, skin and
clothing.
