Battery terminals and connections should be kept free of corro-
sion.
If cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire
brush. Wash with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and
one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean
rags. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
Be careful not to allow cleaning solution or tap water into the bat-
tery.
If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of
one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water to prevent
damage to the ATV.
To avoid the possibility of explosion, always connect battery
cables in the order specified. Red (positive) cable first; black
(negative) cable last. An exploding battery can cause serious
injury or death.
