keep it securely mounted;
keep the top clean and dry;
keep terminals and connections
clean, tight, and coated with petroleum
jelly or terminal grease;
rinse off spilled electrolyte

extended time, disconnect the battery
leads and charge the battery every six

wait for the engine to return naturally to
idling speed.
If this procedure is not performed, the

case, contact the Abarth Dealership.

engine to over 6000 rpm, another
