a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that may
damage, weaken, or destroy plastics.

■ Storing and charging your batteries in temperatures above
100
°F or below 50°F will shorten battery life.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for
battery to cool and charge immediately.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
