WARNING
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames, and smoking material away. Ventilate
when charging or using in an enclosed space. The batteries contain sulfuric acid that causes
severe burns. If acid contacts eyes, skin, or clothing, flush well with water. For contact with eyes,
get immediate medical attention. Do not jump-start engine. Batteries must be removed for
recharging.
NOTE
Each time before vehicle is put into operation, battery terminals and cables should be inspected
for excessive dirt and corrosion, loose connections, and damage. Dirt, combined with electrolyte
or moisture on top of battery, can result in a continuous battery discharge.
