Batteries
Check the Electrolyte Level
 |
Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode resulting in personal injury. Do not smoke when observing the battery electrolyte levels. Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes. Always wear protective glasses when working with batteries. |

Check the batteries more often when working in extreme heat situations.
If an addition of water is necessary, use distilled water. If distilled water is not available, use clean water that is low in minerals. Do not use artifically softened water.
At the proper charging rate, batteries should not require more than 30 cc (1 ounce) of water per cell per week.

Clean the cable clamps and the terminals with a wire brush, if corroded. Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
- 3. Remove the fill caps. Maintain the electrolyte level to the bottom of the fill plug openings. Install the plugs.
