Servicing the Battery

Check the electrolyte level in the battery every 75 hours.
Always keep the battery clean and fully charged. Use a
paper towel to clean the battery case. If the battery
terminals are corroded, clean them with a solution of four
parts water and one part baking soda. Apply a light
coating of grease to the battery terminals to reduce
corrosion.
Voltage: 12 v, 435 Cold Cranking Amps
Checking the Electrolyte Level
1. Remove the battery cover (Fig. 3).
2. Open covers to see into the cells. The electrolyte must
be up to the lower part of the tube (Fig. 29).
