MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Battery
Your ATV may have either a sealed battery, which requires little
maintenance, or a conventional battery. Keep the conventional battery
terminals and connections free of corrosion. If cleaning is necessary,
remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash with a solution of
one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap
water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with
dielectric grease or petroleum jelly. Be careful not to allow cleaning
solution or tap water into the battery.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric acid. Serious
burns can result from contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Antidote:
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk
of magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician
immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame,
cigarettes, etc. away. Ventilate when charging or using in an
enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries.
