METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharg-
ing a battery.
IThe battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.
I The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
I At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as ªlow maintenanceº
and ªmaintenance-freeº.
I When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
I 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.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes,
fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your
hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
