● Check each battery terminal for corrosion. You can stop
more corrosion by washing with a solution of baking soda
and water. Grease the posts and clamps after cleaning or
tightening them.
● Check to see that the battery is securely installed and can-
not be moved. Also check each terminal for tightness.
● If you will not be driving your vehicle for a long period of
time, remove the battery and store it in a place where the
battery fluid will not freeze. The battery only should be
stored with a full charge.
● Before cleaning the battery, tighten all the filler port caps
to keep dirt and moisture out.
WARNING
!
● Never disconnect the battery while the engine is run-
ning, or you could damage the vehicle’s electrical
parts.
● Never short-circuit the battery. This could cause it
to overheat and be damaged.
● Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the
battery because the battery could explode.
● Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corrosive
diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills on nearby parts, it
can crack, stain, or discolor them. And if it gets on
your skin or in your eyes, it can cause burns or
blindness. Please observe the following handling
instructions:
• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts or other nearby
parts, wipe it off with a soft cloth or chamois
soaked in a solution of water and neutral detergent
then immediately rinse the affected parts with
plenty of water.
• If electrolyte gets on your hands or clothes, rinse
thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your
eyes, flush them with water immediately and get
immediate medical attention.
● Open doors and windows in any closed space where
you may be charging or working with the battery.
● Always wear protective clothing and goggles when
working with the battery, or have a skilled automo-
bile technician do it.
● If you are quick-charging your battery, first discon-
nect the battery cables.
● In order to prevent a short-circuit, be sure to discon-
nect the negative (-) terminal first, and reconnect it
last.
● Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
