Cleaning and Servicing the Battery
Occasionally remove the battery cables and brighten the terminal contact surfaces with wire wool, and reassemble them. Apply a light coat of vaseline or chassis lubricant. Be sure the terminals are clamped tightly and that the battery is fastened securely in the battery box. Replace unserviceable cable. Keep the vent holes in the battery filler caps
open.
Keeping the battery fully charged not only adds to its life but makes it available for instant use when
needed.
Liquid Level
Check the battery at least once a month for water
level.
The electrolyte (acid and water) in each cell should be at ring level at all times to prevent battery failure. When the electrolyte is below this level, add pure, distilled water.
Acid or electrolyte should never be added except by a skilled battery man. Under no circumstances add any special battery "dopes", solutions or
powders.
