SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared for possible fires. Keep the fol-
lowing items handy:
¡ First Aid Kit
¡ Fire Extinguisher
¡ Emergency Phone Numbers
Handle Fuel Safely
Use care when handling fuel; it is highly flam-
mable. DO NOT smoke or have open flames
or sparks nearby when handling fuel.
Always clean up spilled fuel and dispose of
cleaning materials properly.
Prevent Battery Explosion
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks and flames away from batteries.
Check battery electrolyte level using a flash-
light.
Never check battery charge by connecting the
battery posts with a conductor. Use a volt-
meter or hydrometer. Always disconnect the
negative (–) cable first and reconnect it last.
DO NOT charge a battery if the battery is fro-
zen. Allow the battery to warm up first.
Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and danger-
ous. It contains sulfuric acid and causes se-
vere burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. If electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush
with water for 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention.
Wear Protective Clothing
Wear safety equipment whenever necessary:
¡ Safety glasses or goggles
¡ Earmuffs or earplugs
¡ Safety shoes
¡ Gloves
¡ Respiratory protection
Avoid wearing loose clothing and jewelry.
