WARNING
• Battery acid (electrolyte) is extremely harmful. Always wear
safety goggles and rubber gloves when performing battery
maintenance. Severe injury will result if acid contacts eyes or
skin.
• Do not smoke, have open flame, or make sparks when
performing battery maintenance. Batteries may explode
causing severe injury to personnel.
• Remove all jewelry such as rings, identification tags, and
bracelets. If jewelry or disconnected battery ground cable
contacts battery post, a direct short can result, causing
damage to equipment or severe injury to personnel.
• When removing cables, disconnect the ground cable first. Do
not allow tools to come into contact with vehicle when
disconnecting cable clamps. A direct short can result, causing
instant heating of tools, tool damage, battery damage, or
battery explosion, and severe injury to personnel.
