MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Battery Battery Installation 1. Set the battery in its holder. 2. Install the battery vent tube. It must be free from obstructions and securely installed. If not, battery gases could accumulate and cause an explosion. The tube should be routed away from the frame and body to prevent corrosion. Avoid skin contact with electrolyte as severe burns could result. 3. First connect and tighten the red (positive) cable. 4. Second connect and tighten the black (negative) cable. 5. Verify that cables are properly routed. NOTE: When installing a new battery, make sure it's fully charged prior to its initial use. Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the battery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance. Battery Storage When the vehicle is placed in storage for three months or more, the battery should be removed, stored out of the sun in a cool, dry place and tested monthly. Before reusing, take the battery to your dealer for testing and recharging. 98
