===Battery Maintenance===
Your motorhome is equipped with six 6-volt batteries, connected in a series-parallel arrangement to provide 12 volts for engine and motorhome use. This arrangement makes availab le 660 AH (20 hour rate). Batteries are located in the rear engine compartment on the curb side, as shown in figure 4-2. A separate 12-volt battery is contained in the road side front compartment and is used only to start the generator. All batteries are charged from either the engine alternator or battery chargers (when 120 volts ac is available). Note that the 12.5kw generator will supply 120 volt cJ.C to the battery chargers.

'''Periodic Battery Checks and Maintenance'''
To make sure that the batteries are always ready for use, periodically check and charge as necessary . Check batteries at least every two weeks in freezing weather; at least every four weeks in warmer weather. A fully-charged battery will not freeze under normal circumstances , so it is imperative that the batteries remain charged during winter. A safe level of charge is a specif ic gravity reading of 1 .225 to 1 .280. Alway s use a battery hydrometer which has a temperature correction scale. It is advisable to have the coach shoreline connected to the 120 volt ac supply so that the batteries rema in fully charged. A dirty battery may eventually dissipate its charge through conductive surface contamination . Clean battery top surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Check that battery terminals and associated battery jumer terminals are tight and free of corrosion. To clean terminals, neutralize corrosive deposits with a solution of baking soda, rinse with clear water , and dry. Note that commercial type spray-on battery cleaners are available at automotive supply stores. Use as directed to keep the batteries clean. Spray-on cable and terminal protective coatings are also available, easy to use, and effective.
