Battery: Service Precautions
Methods of Preventing Over-Discharge
CAUTION:
^
If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables:
^ use a 12-Volt booster battery.
^
After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
^
Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging a battery.
^
The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept clean and dry.
^
The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
^
At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
^
When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of time, disconnect the negative battery terminal. (If the vehicle has an extended
storage switch, turn it off).
^
Check the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep a close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
