If
you plan to store the motor home for over ten days, press
the disconnect switch/es to
OFF.
Remember to press the
switch/es to
ON when you take the motor home out
of
storage.
Check the external condition
of
the battery periodically.
Look for cracks in the cover and case. Check the vent plugs
and replace any that are cracked or broken. Keep the battery
clean. Acid film and dirt on the battery top may permit cur-
.rent to flow between the terminals and discharge the battery.
To
clean the battery:
1.
Be sure the vent caps are installed and tight.
2. Wash the battery with a diluted solution of baking soda and
water to
neutralize any acid present.
3.
Flush with clean water. Foaming around terminals or on top
of the battery
is
normal acid neutralization. Avoid getting
the soda solution in the battery.
4.
Dry the cables and terminals.
5.
Do not use grease on the bare metal inside the cable termi-
nals to prevent corrosion. Grease is an insulator. Electricity
will not flow through
it.
A plastic battery terminal spray will
protect the terminals after you
have
cleaned and reinstalled
them.
6.
Check the battery, including water level, at least once a
week. Keep the carrier and hold down hardware
clean and
free of corrosion and chemical accumulation.
