20-14 STARTING AND CHARGING - BATTERY
The yellow or white paste surrounding the battery cover and the polar stud is caused
by the corrosion of the polar studs, wiring clip and the fixed frame by the sulfuric acid
sprayed.
(b) Troubleshooting:
In order to avoid these pastes, clean the electrolyte sprayed on the battery cover and
the shell with a cloth soaked with the soda solution of 10 percent.Then wipe with water
and dry with a clean cloth. The paste on the wire ends and the studs should be wiped
with the cloth soaked with soda solution. If there are oxides of poor conductivity, scrape
them with a knife and clean them. It would be best to smear a coat of Vaseline or butter
on the cover after the polar studs and wiring clips are fastened.
