WARNING

Batteries have acid that can burn
you and gas that can explode.
You can be badly hurt if you are
not careful. See Jump Starting
on page 9-84
for tips on working
around a battery without
getting hurt.

Infrequent Usage: If the vehicle
is driven infrequently, remove
the black, negative (

) cable

from the battery. This helps keep
the battery from running down.

Extended Storage: For extended
storage of the vehicle, remove the
black, negative (

) cable from the

battery or use a battery trickle
charger. This helps maintain the
charge of the battery over an
extended period of time.

When to Check Lubricant

It is not necessary to regularly
check rear axle fluid unless you
suspect there is a leak or you hear
an unusual noise. A fluid loss could
indicate a problem. Have it inspected
and repaired.

How to Check Lubricant

A. Fill Plug Hole

B. Drain Plug Hole

To get an accurate reading, the
vehicle should be on a level surface.

If the level is below the bottom
of the filler plug hole, add some
lubricant. Add enough lubricant to
raise the level to the bottom of the
filler plug hole.
