Refer to specific instructions and warnings accompanying your battery. If this information
is not available, observe the following precautions when handling a battery.
Recharging a weak battery in the boat, or using jumper cables and a booster battery to
start the engine, can cause serious injury or product damage from fire or explosion.
Remove the battery from the boat and recharge in a ventilated area away from sparks or
flames.
An operating or charging battery produces gas that can ignite and explode, spraying out
sulfuric acid, which can cause severe burns. Ventilate the area around the battery and
wear protective equipment when handling or servicing batteries.
