Battery Fluid level and Cable Connections.

Check the electrolyte solution to make sure

the level is above the plates. If the level is low
(but above the plates inside the battery), add

water only until the plates are covered and
then charge the battery. After charging, fill the
battery to the proper level.
.

Keep the terminals and entire battery case

clean. To clean the battery, wash the entire

soda solution into the battery because
damage to the battery will result. Coat the
battery posts and cable connectors with skin-
over grease, or petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion
