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 0° C (32° F), full charge state must be maintained to prevent cell
electrolyte from freezing and causing permanent battery damage.
CAUTION:
Batteries produce flammable 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.
IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT: Flush affected area immediately with a solution of one part
baking soda to four parts water. If baking soda is not readily available, flush affected area
with water. Notify physician immediately.
