CAUTION:  Care should be taken in the event the battery case is cracked or leaking, to protect your skin from the electrolyte. Heavy rubber
gloves (not the household type) should be worn when removing the battery.

4. Inspect the battery carrier for damage caused by the loss of electrolyte. If acid damage is present, it will be necessary to clean the area with a

solution of clean warm water and baking soda. Scrub the area with a stiff brush and wipe off with a cloth moistened with baking soda and water.

5. Clean the top of the battery with the same solution as described in Step(4).
6. Inspect the battery case and cover for cracks. If cracks are present, the battery must be replaced.
7. Clean the battery posts with a suitable battery post tool.
8. Clean the inside surface of the terminal clamps with a suitable battery cleaning tool. Replace damaged or frayed cables and broken terminal

clamps.

9. Install the battery in the vehicle.

10. Connect the cable terminals to the battery post, making sure the tops of the terminals are flush with the tops of the posts.
11. Tighten the terminal nuts securely.
12. Coat all connections with light mineral grease after tightening.

CAUTION:  When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas forms beneath the cover of each cell. Do not smoke near batteries being charged
or which have recently been charged. Do not break live circuits at the terminals of batteries being charged. A spark will occur when the circuit is
broken. Keep open flames away from the battery.
