the electrolyte or add distilled water to the battery. If the battery
discharges, see your Victory dealer.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric acid.
Serious burns can result from contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Antidote:
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with
milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physi-
cian immediately.

cal attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame,
cigarettes, etc. away. Ventilate when charging or using in an
enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near
batteries. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM BATTERY.
Whenever removing the battery, disconnect the negative

ling the battery. Reverse power applied to the ECU will dam-
age it instantly.
