WARNING!

Charging the battery installed in the vehicle

might cause the battery to catch fire and explode.
Or, damage to the vehicle could result. If it has to
be charged in that condition for unavoidable
reasons, disconnect the vehicle side negative lead.

Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the

battery because the battery may produce an explosion.

Use adequate ventilation when charging or using

the battery in an enclosed space.

Remove all the caps before charging the battery.
Electrolyte (battery acid) is corrosive diluted sulfuric

acid. If electrolyte comes in contact with your hands,
eyes, clothes, or the painted surface of your vehicle,
thoroughly flush with water. If electrolyte gets in
your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water imme-
diately, and get prompt medical attention.

WARNING!

Always wear protective clothing and goggles

when working near the battery.

Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes

If the vehicle is driven without sufficient battery charge,
after the engine has been started by using booster cables,
the engine may misfire. This can cause the anti-lock
braking system warning light to blink on and off. This is
a result of insufficient battery voltage; it is not a malfunc-
tion of the brake system. If this happens, fully charge the
battery before driving.

TOWING

When towing your vehicle, all state and local regulations for
towing must be followed. Incorrect towing equipment could
damage your vehicle. When towing is required, contact a
professional towing service and make sure that flat bed type,
dolly type or wheel lift type towing equipment is used. Do
not attempt to be towed by another vehicle with a rope using
the tie-down hooks.
