MAINTENANCE
Clean batteries:
1. Use a plastic spray bottle to spray the top and sides of the batteries with a solution of baking soda and water. The solution should consist of 2 teaspoons
(10 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liter) of water.
2. In addition to the batteries, pay special attention to metallic components adjacent to the batteries. Spray these with the baking soda solution also.
3. Allow the solution to set for at least three minutes; then use a soft bristle brush or cloth to wipe the tops of the batteries to remove any residue that could
cause the batteries to self-discharge.
4. Rinse the entire area with low pressure clear water.
To prevent battery explosion that could result in severe personal injury or death, use extreme care with aerosol contain-
ers of battery terminal protectant. Insulate the metal container to prevent the metal can from contacting battery termi-
nals.
5. After batteries are clean and dry, coat terminals with a commercially available protectant. See previous WARNING.
Cleaning should take place once a month or more often under extreme conditions.
Battery Removal and Installation
Improper handling of high voltage wiring, batteries,
or control systems could result in serious or fatal injury by electric shock. Only qualified technicians should repair or
access high voltage wiring, battery packs, and associated systems.
To prevent battery explosion that could result in severe personal injury or death, use extreme care with aerosol contain-
ers of battery terminal protectant. Insulate the metal container to prevent the metal can from contacting battery termi-
nals, which could result in an explosion.
If the batteries are replaced, make sure they are the exact type and model originally supplied with the vehicle. Failure to
follow this caution can result in damage to the vehicles electrical system.
