is
well ventilated while
battery
is
being charged.
3.
Clean
battery
terminals
with a mixture of baking soda and hot water.
Be
careful to
keep corrosion from coming
in
contact with eyes.
4.
Study all
battery manufacturer's specific precautions such
as
removing or not
removing
cell
caps
while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
5.
Determine voltage
of battery
by· referring to
vehicle
owner's manual

the battery is not a
sealed
battery, add
distilled
water to each
cell (if necessary)
