neutralize it with alkaline water (soap) and
then wash your skin or clothing with clean
water. If the acid liquid is swallowed, rush to
the hospital immediately.
●
Keep children away from the acid liquid of the
battery.
●
When the battery is being charged, it will
release explosive gases. So any naked fire,
spark and smoking are forbidden.
While doing wiring and electrical work, please
avoid sparks. Do not connect the electrodes, or the
resultant short circuit can cause sparks and
thereby lead to injuries.
The electronic ignition system has high tension.
Please do not touch the components in the system
when the engine is running or the ignition switch is
on.
Removal and Installation
While removing and installing the battery, make
sure to take the following precaution measures:
1. To replace the battery, only use a lead-acid
battery, and don't use other types of batteries.
The current and capacity of the new battery
shall be the same as the old battery or the
specification made by Chery. For the correct
battery specification, please consult Chery
authorized service station.
2. After the ignition switch and all the electrical
devices have been turned off, remove the
negative (-) cable first.
3. Try to prevent the metal tools from contacting
the two electrodes of the battery at the same
time or accidentally contacting the positive
pole and the body.
Parameters of Capacity and Specifications
4. When re-connecting the battery, first connect
the positive (+) cable and then the negative (-)
cable.
5. If the battery is re-connected after being
removed, the vehicle may initially show
slightly abnormal performance. This indicates
that the control system of the engine is
re-adapting to the engine.
The used battery contains sulphur acid
and lead, so it shall not be discarded as normal
household rubbish. Please deliver it to qualified
local waste disposal stations.
