i.
Wipe any corrosion or dirt from electrical
components using dry cheesecloth or
wipe with a damp soapy cloth, then wipe
dry. Avoid using solvents to dean elec-
trical components. Solvents often leave
a greasy film that reduces electrical con-
ductivity.
•
j.
Check electrolyte specific gravity.
NOTE
Extreme temperatures may have an
adverse effect on the battery banks Since It
Is on the deckhouse top, battery bank Is
exposed to high temperatures and climatic
changes. This exposure increases evapora-
tion of electrolyte from batteries and
requires more frequent checks of elec-
trolyte level and specific gravity.

hardware, and hangers to make sure
they are tight.

All Components
a. Check that all components are securely
fastened. Tighten any Ioose fasteners.
•
b. Check all components for possible damage.
Repair or replace as necessary. If emer-
