INSPECTION

The following information details the recommended inspection procedures for the battery and related components.

1. Inspect the battery cable terminals for damage. Replace any battery cable that has a damaged or deformed terminal.

2. Inspect the battery tray and battery holddown hardware for damage. Replace any damaged parts.

3. Inspect the battery case for cracks or other damage that could result in electrolyte leaks. Also, check the battery terminals for looseness. Batteries with damaged cases or loose terminals must be replaced.

4. Inspect the battery built-in test indicator sight glass (if equipped) for an indication of the battery condition. If the battery is discharged, charge as required.
