could cause sparking, and the gas in
either battery could explode.
CleanTheBattery
Clean the battery by removing itfrom the unit and
washing with a baking soda and water solution. If
necessary, scrape the battery terminals with a wire
brush to remove deposits. Coat terminals and exposed
wiring with grease or petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion.
BatteryFailures
Some common causes for battery failure are: incorrect
initial activation, lack of water, adding chemicals other
than water after initial activation, undercharging,
overcharging, corroded connections, freezing. These
failures do not constitute warranty.
Tires
Recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 10 p.s.i. Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstances is30 p.s.L Equal tire pressure
should be maintained on all tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean
and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim
generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.L to seat beads.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force sufficient
to cause serious injury.
