Replacing the Battery
NOTE: The fluid in electric storage batteries contains
sulfuric acid, which is a POISON and can cause
SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS. Avoid all contact of
fluid with eyes, skin or clothing. Use proper
protective gear when handling batteries. DO NOT
tip any battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.
If fluid contact does occur, perform the following
First Aid suggestions.
Battery Electrolyte First Aid
External Contact - Flush with water.
Eyes - Flush with water for at least 15 minutes and get
immediate medical attention.
Internal - Drink large quantities of water. Follow with
Milk of Magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Get
immediate medical attention.
NOTE: In case of internal contact, DO NOT give fluids that
would induce vomiting.
Remove the battery very carefully to avoid spillage of battery
fluid. Properly dispose of the battery.
Fuel System
Fuel Storage
Storage of fuel for an extended period causes accumulation
of sediment, dirt, water and other foreign materials in the
fuel. Many engine problems are caused by dirty fuel and long
storage periods.
Keep fuel in an outside location. Use a shelter to keep the
fuel as cool as possible. The water from condensation must
be removed at regular intervals from the storage tank.
