Battery Connections
Always keep 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 a conventional battery.

ways or spill electrolyte.
NOTICE: If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of
one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water to prevent
damage to the vehicle.

Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explo-
sion and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, always
