ÐChecking battery exterior
TerminalsGround cable
Hold- down
clamp
Check the battery for corroded or loose
terminal connections, cracks, or loose
hold- down clamp.
a. If the battery is corroded, wash it off
with a solution of warm water and bak-
ing soda. Coat the outside of the termi-
nals with grease to prevent further cor-
rosion.
b. If the terminal connections are loose,
tighten their clamp nutsÐbut do not
overtighten.
c. Tighten the hold- down clamp only
enough to keep the battery firmly in
place. Overtightening may damage the
battery case.
NOTICE

Be sure the engine and all accesso-
ries are off before performing main-
tenance.

When checking the battery, remove
the ground cable from the negative
terminal (º- º mark) first and rein-
stall it last.

Be careful not to cause a short cir-
cuit with tools.

Take care no solution gets into the
battery when washing it.
