Clean the Batteries
NOTICE: Do not allow cleaning solution or tap water to enter the batteries. Before cleaning, make
sure all battery fill well caps are installed securely.
1. Remove corrosion with a stiff wire brush.
2. Wash the terminals and tops of the batteries with a solution of one tablespoon baking
soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels.
3. Make sure battery terminals are tight. Use an insulated wrench to tighten as needed.
4. Allow battery terminals to dry, then coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petro-
leum jelly, or spray them with battery anti-corrosion spray.
