Ventilate when charging or using in an enclosed space. Always shield eyes
when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Your ATV may have either a sealed battery, which requires little maintenance, or
a conventional battery. A sealed battery can be identified by its flat covers on the
top of the battery. A conventional battery has six filler caps on the top of the
battery.
Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If cleaning is
necessary, remove 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 a conventional
battery.
