1. Keep all connections clean and tight. Remove corrosion, and wash terminals with a solution of baking soda and water.

2. Check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each battery cell. Charge battery if reading is below 1.215.

IMPORTANT: Do not add water in freezing weather unless machine operates at least 30 minutes.

3. Check level of electrolyte in each cell. If low, fill to bottom of filler necks with CLEAN, SOFT water. DO NOT OVERFILL.
