MAINTENANCE
Do not tilt the batteries during removal or installation. An electrolyte spill can cause
burns and damage.
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid solution which can cause burns to the skin
and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with
clear water. Contact a physician immediately.
Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when you add
water or charge the batteries.
Neutralize electrolyte spills with a solution of 2 tea-
spoons (10 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
mixed in 1 quart (1 liter) of water. Clean with water.
If you fill the batteries with electrolyte above the maximum level, you
can cause an electrolyte spill during the charge cycle. An electrolyte
spill can cause damage to the vehicle and storage facility.
Be careful when you use aerosol containers near the battery termi-
nals. Use a container with insulation to prevent an explosion.
