Fig. 25 Preparing Acid Neutralizing Solution
Allow the solution to sit for at least three minutes. Use a
soft bristle brush or cloth to wipe the tops of the batteries
to remove any conductive residue. Rinse the entire area
with low pressure clear water. Do not use a pressure
washer. All of the items required for complete battery
cleaning and watering (electric vehicles only) are con-
tained in the Battery Maintenance Kit (P/N 25587-G01).
Battery Replacement
Before any electrical service is performed, the Run-Tow/
Maintenance switch must be placed in the 'Tow/Mainte-
nance' position.
If a power wire (battery, motor or controller) is discon-
nected for any reason, the Run-Tow/Maintenance switch
must be left in the 'Tow/Maintenance' position for at least
30 seconds after the circuit is restored.
Remove battery hold downs and cables. Lift out batteries
with a commercially available lifting device.
If the batteries have been cleaned and any acid in the
battery rack area neutralized as recommended, no corro-
sion to the battery racks or surrounding area should be
present. Any corrosion found should be immediately
removed with a putty knife and a wire brush. The area
should be washed with a solution of sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) and water and thoroughly dried before
priming and painting with a corrosion resistant paint.

Owner's Manual and Service Guide
The batteries should be placed into the battery racks and
the battery hold downs tightened to 45 - 55 in. lbs. (5 - 6
Nm) torque, to prevent movement but not tight enough to
cause distortion of the battery cases.
Inspect all wires and terminals. Clean any corrosion from
the battery terminals or the wire terminals with a solution
of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and brush clean if
required.
To prevent battery explosion that could result in
severe personal injury or death, extreme care
must be used with aerosol containers of battery
terminal protectant. Insulate the metal contain-
er to prevent the metal can from contacting bat-
t e r y t e r m i n a l s w h i c h c o u l d r e s u l t i n a n
explosion.
Use care to connect the battery wires as shown (Ref Fig.
26 on page 21). Tighten the battery post hardware to 90-
110 in. lbs. (6 - 8 Nm) torque. Do not over-torque the ter-
minal stud nut, this will cause a "mushroom" effect on the
battery post which will prevent the terminal nut from
being properly tightened.

Prolonged Storage
Battery charger, controller and other electronic devices
need to be disconnected since they will contribute to the
premature discharge of batteries.
During periods of storage, the batteries will need atten-
tion to keep them maintained and prevent discharge.
In high temperatures the chemical reaction is faster,
while low temperatures cause the chemical reaction to
slow down. A vehicle that is stored at 90° F (32° C) will
