SAFETY
WARNING
• Wear safety glasses when working near
batteries.
• Do not tip batteries more than 45° to avoid
electrolyte loss.
• Battery electrolyte causes severe burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
• Electrolyte splashed into the eyes is extremely
dangerous. Should this occur, force the eye
open, and flood with cool, clean water for five
minutes. Call a doctor immediately.
• If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on clothing
or the body, neutralize it immediately with a
solution of baking soda and water, then rinse
with clear water.

WARNING
• To avoid injury from spark or short circuit,
disconnect battery ground cable before
servicing and part of electrical system.
• Do not operate the engine with alternator or
battery disconnected. With battery cables
disconnected and engine running, a high
voltage can be built up if terminals touch the
frame. Anyone touching the frame under these
conditions would be severely shocked.
• When working around storage batteries,
remember that all of the exposed metal parts
are live. Never lay a metal object across the
terminals because a spark or short circuit will
result.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
