Methods of Preventing Over-Discharge

CAUTION:
a. If It becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and Jumper cables, use a 12-Volt booster battery.
b. After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
c. Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.

Methods Of Preventing Over Discharge:

The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging a battery.

^ The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept clean and dry.
^ The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
^ At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.

Methods Of Preventing Over Discharge:

^ When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of time, disconnect the negative battery terminal. (If the vehicle has an extended storage switch, turn it off.)

Methods Of Preventing Over Discharge:

^ Check the charge condition of the battery. Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep a close check on charge condition to prevent overdischarge.
