CLEANING
Disconnect the batteries before cleaning.
Dry dirt can be readily blown off with low-pressure air
or brushed off.
Note: Wetness or wet dirt on the top of the battery
indicates battery acid boil over or excessive
gassing.
Using a nonmetallic brush with flexible bristles, wash
the battery off with a strong solution of baking soda and
hot water mixed with a ratio of one pound of soda to
one gallon of water (0.5 kg / 3.7 liters). Continue until
all fizzing stops, which indicates that the acid has been
neutralized. Then rinse thoroughly with clear water. DO
NOT get any of the solution into the battery cells.

warnings and instructions that are located in the
Service Guidelines chapter and beginning of this

WARNING
WATERING
Note: The electrolyte level in a battery rises while
charging and will be close to its highest
level after the end of a charging cycle. It is
recommended to fill the battery at the end of
a charging cycle. If the electrolyte is below
the top of the battery plates then fill just
enough to cover the plates and then top off
when the charging cycle is complete.
Clean the battery. Refer to Cleaning section for
information on cleaning the battery.
Check the electrolyte level in all battery cells. If low, fill
to the correct level (see illustration) with distilled water
using part number 77-201-00 battery filler, never add
additional battery electrolyte to the batteries.
