NOTE
Make sure you don't allow any baking soda solution to get into the battery. This can neutralize the battery acid.
f. Dry the cables and terminals before reinstalling them, and don't use grease on the bare metal inside the cable
terminals to prevent corrosion. Grease is an insulator. Electricity will not ow through it. A plastic ignition spray
will protect the terminals after you have cleaned and reinstalled them.
g. Whenever batteries are removed and replaced make sure the positive and negative cables are attached to the cor-
rect terminals. (Positive to positive and negative to negative). The same is true when using a “booster battery” or a
charger. If you use a “fast charger”, disconnect the cables from your battery. Do not attempt to recharge a frozen
battery.
h. If you do not have maintenance-free batteries, check the battery uid level and ll with distilled water if necessary.
Do not overll.
i. Have the specic gravity of the battery uid checked when you have your vehicle serviced.
