1. Keep batteries clean (see page 17). Ensure the battery cell tops are secure. Wash the
battery tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of 1 gallon water / 3.78 litres and 1
cup baking soda. Do not allow solution to enter the batteries. Rinse off residual solution.
2. The electrolyte level in the batteries should be checked weekly by filling them using the
battery watering system.
Batteries contain high current. Do not overfill or allow water to stand on top of the
batteries. Doing so could result in personal injury and or property damage.

Use distilled water, do not use tap water
Add water only after charging unless the electrolyte level is below the top of the battery
plates. Add water to cover plates then check electrolyte levels again once charged.
Note: a battery watering gun or bottle is available at many auto parts dealers.
Inspect the wires and terminal connections for corrosion, fraying, or damage. Replace wires
if necessary. Ensure battery wire terminal connector nuts are tightened to 95-105 inch
pounds – always use a torque wrench and do not over tighten.
•
If the battery wires or terminals are damaged or corroded, they should be replaced or
cleaned. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation.
•
Torque battery hold down straps to 40 in-lbs to ensure the batteries are held in place
securely.
