2470 CENTER CONSOLE

Check the electrolyte level in the batteries regularly and add distilled water as necessary. If the

batteries are frequently charged by an automatic battery charger, the electrolyte level will have

to be checked more often. Keep the battery tops clean and dry. Dirt and water can conduct

electricity from one post to the other causing the battery to discharge. The battery posts should

be kept free of corrosion. Remove the cables and clean the posts and cable clamps with a battery

post cleaner or sandpaper as required. Coating the battery posts and cable clamps with petroleum

jelly will protect them and reduce corrosion. Battery cables, both hot and ground, must be

replaced when they show signs of corrosion or fraying. Deteriorated cables cause a considerable

voltage loss when high currents are drawn, as for starting the engine.

NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME IN THE BATTERY STORAGE AREA. AVOID STRIK-

ING SPARKS NEAR THE BATTERY. A BATTERY CAN EXPLODE IF A FLAME OR

SPARK IGNITES THE HYDROGEN GAS THE BATTERY EMITS WHILE BEING

CHARGED.

CORROSION ALLOWED TO BUILD ON THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS CAN

CAUSE A POOR CONNECTION RESULTING IN SHORTS, GROUND FAULTS OR

POOR GROUND CONNECTIONS. ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS SHOULD CHECKED

AT LEAST ANNUALLY AND CLEANED AS REQUIRED. DO NOT ALLOW CORRO-

SION TO BUILD ON CONNECTIONS.

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALWAYS SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE

POWER SOURCE BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING THE SYSTEM. NEVER

SERVICE ANY COMPONENT OF AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHILE IT IS ENER-

GIZED.
