Battery Inspection and Maintenance
1. Check for cracks in battery case. Replace battery if
cracked or leaking.
2. Check battery terminals for corrosion. Use wire
brush to clean corrosion from terminals.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, t ape or
block vent holes to the filler caps and make sure the
caps are on tightly.
3. Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top of
the battery which might indicate a loose or missing filler
cap, overcharging, loose terminal post or overfilling.
Also, check battery case for dirt and oil. Clean the bat-
tery with a solution of baking soda and water, then rinse
it with clean water.
4. Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Re-
place the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
5. Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the level is
below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all cells with
distilled water between the minimum and maximum fill
lines. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for fifteen (15) minutes
to allow sufficien t mixing of the electrolyte.
