—Checking battery exterior
Terminals
Ground 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 nuts—but 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 (”–” 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.

Battery recharging precautions
During recharging, the battery is pro-
ducing hydrogen gas.
Therefore, before recharging:
1. If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
2. Be sure the power switch on the re- charger is off when connecting the
charger cables to the battery and when
disconnecting them.
CAUTION
Always charge the battery in an
unconfined area. Do not charge
the battery in a garage or closed
room where there is not suffi-
cient ventilation.
Only do a slow charge (5 A or
less). Charging at a quicker rate
is dangerous. The battery may
explode, causing personal inju-
ries.
NOTICE
Never recharge the battery while the
engine is running. Also, be sure all
accessories are turned off.
