Cleaning the Vehicle
26 1999 Transportation Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual
The gasoline vehicle battery is a 12-volt, low maintenance battery that requires infrequent watering
. Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (-) terminals should be washed off
with a solution of baking soda and water (1 cup per gallon of water), and then the baking soda solution rinsed
off the battery. Do not allow the solution to get into the battery. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals
dry and then spray them with Club Car battery terminal spray (Club Car Part No.1014305).
See preceding
WARNING and following CAUTION.

any longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave battery discharged overnight).
