STORAGE
Before storing the vehicle or battery for an extended
period, the battey should be thoroughly cleaned, fully
charged and the electrolyte brought up to the proper
level.
During storage, batteries should be periodically
recharged. Charging interval depends on the average
temperature at which the batteries are stored.
40° – 60°F (4° – 15°C) Charge every 2 months. . . . . .
Above 60°F (4° – 15°C) Charge every 2 months. . . . .
Clean, inspect and test the batteries before putting them
back into service.
JACKS, JACKING LOCATIONS
AND USING A HOIST
When it is necessary to raise the vehicle for any repair or
service, use jackstands to provide adequate support. Do
not rely on hydraulic or mechanical jacks.
To avoid unexpected vehicle movement, always set the
parking brake and make sure the direction selector is in
“neutral”.
A scissors type jack with a 1 1/2 ton (minimum) capacity,
that can be lowered to 3 3/8” (86 mm) height is required.
Position the jack under the differential axle tube to raise
the rear wheel, or under the frame near the front wheel to
raise the front wheel (the jacking locations are shown on
the chassis lubrication chart illustration on page ).
These are the ONLY jacking locations to be used. Raise
the vehicle ONLY enough to perform maintenance
required.
NOTICE
• To prevent damage to the vehicle or attached acces-
sory, NEVER use a hoist to raise one corner of the
vehicle. ALWAYS raise BOTH front or rear corners
equally.
