CLEANING BATTERY TERMINALS

WARNING

DO NOT allow conductive material such as a wrench to join the two (2) battery terminals. This will result in a dead short that can cause burns to you and dam- age to the battery.

Most batteries are not sold with instructions. However, warnings are fre- quently noted on the top of the batteries. Read them carefully.

DO NOT allow the liquid in the battery to come in contact with skin, clothes or other possessions. It is a form of acid and harmful or damaging burns may result. Should the liquid touch your skin, wash the area immediately and thoroughly with cool water. In serious cases or if eye contact is made, seek medical attention IMME-

DIATELY.

The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles is recommended when working with batteries.

NEVER smoke or strike a match near batteries.

1. Examine battery clamps/terminals for corrosion.

WARNING

If there are any cracks or leaks replace batteries IMMEDIATELY.

2.Clean the terminals and inside the battery clamps by using a battery cleaning tool, wire brush, or medium grade sand paper.
