WARNING: Battery Explosion and Acid Burn
To avoid injury from battery explosion or contact with battery acid,
work in a well ventilated area, wear protective clothing, and avoid
sparks or flames near the battery. If you come in contact with
battery acid:
• Flush your skin with water.
• Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
• Flush your eyes with water.
• Get medical attention immediately.
NOTICE: Jump starting with voltages greater than those indicated or
reversing battery polarity may damage the MCM.
NOTICE: Failure to connect jumper cables in the proper sequence can
result in alternator and/or equipment damage.
Before attempting to jump start the engine, the jumper cables must be connected
properly; positive-to-positive, and negative-to-chassis or suitable ground. The
proper sequence is to connect negative to negative ground last.
