. clean and dry, the covers and terminals should be wiped clean on
time and should never let ventilating holes on the covers get,
'clogged up.
C. Check the battery electrolyte regularly. Under·norm·alcon-
ditions,its specified gravity should be within 1. 240-1. 270'~ If. it·'is
les·s than the specified valve'., fill the battery with the .electrolyte
whose specific gravity is of 1.,280.'
