Give it a Chance

There are only two places in your whole
car that need water.
One is the radiator.
The other is the battery.
If you forget your radiator you'll hear from
it right away.
If you forget your battery, it keeps on
working for while, but it is damaged just as
surely as your engine would be if you let the
radiator 60 dry.
Give your battery chance to make good
by having us add distilled water every week
or so, and test each cell with the HydrQn-
eter to make sure that you arekeeping up
