Check the battery for corroded or loose connections,
cracks, or loose hold-down clamps.
1. If the battery is corroded, wash it off with a solution of warm
water and baking soda. Coat the terminals with grease to
prevent further corrosion.

not overtighten.
3. Tighten the hold- down clamp only enough to keep the
battery firmly in place. Overtightening may damage the battery
