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.
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.
Use care to connect the battery wires as shown.
Tighten the battery post hardware to 90 - 100 in. lbs. (6 -8 Nm) torque. Do not over-torque the terminal stud nut, this will
cause a “mushroom” effect on the battery post which will prevent the terminal nut from being properly tightened. Protect
the battery terminals and battery wire terminals with a commercially available coating.
