How to Handle Battery
caution
  • If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a 12-volt booster battery.
  • After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
 
 
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.
  • When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of time, disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal. (If the vehicle has an extended storage fuse switch, turn it off.)
