However, for severe usage or in high temperature climates, check the

battery electrolyte level. Refer to the service maintenance section for the

service interval schedules.

Keep the electrolyte level in each cell up to the “level indicator”.

Do not overfill the battery cells.

If the electrolyte level in the battery is low, you can add plain tap water

to the battery, as long as you do not use hard water (water with a high

mineral or alkali content). If possible, however, try to only fill the battery

cells with distilled water. If the battery needs water often, have the

charging system checked.

If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled

after the battery has been cleaned or replaced.

For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and

dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to

the battery terminals.

If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables

from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the

acid with a solution of baking soda and water.

WARNING: Batteries normally produce explosive gases which

can cause personal injury. Therefore, do not allow flames,

sparks or lighted substances to come near the battery. When

working near the battery, always shield your face and protect

your eyes. Always provide proper ventilation.

WARNING: When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive

pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through the

vent caps, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to the

vehicle or battery. Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with

your hands on opposite corners.
