12. Check battery connections. Try to twist each clamp with thumb and first two fingers. Check to see if cables are securely
connected to clamp. If any clamp or connection is loose, report it to unit maintenance.
NOTE
Check the water level more frequently in hot weather.
13. Remove vent plugs from batteries and check battery electrolyte level. Use a flashlight. Look down into each battery cell.
The electrolyte level should be covering the plates and to the lower edge of the vent. If battery cells are low or dry, add
distilled water. Check that vent holes are clear in caps (plugs) before installation. Install vent plugs on battery cells.
14. Clean battery. Wipe off battery casing and surrounding metal parts. Use clean dry wiping rag. Check terminals, clamps,
cables and retainers for corrosion.
15. Coat terminals with a small amount of grease (GAA).
