292 VEHICLE CARE
Warning
An electric fan can start up even
when the engine is not running and
can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing, and tools away from any
underbonnet electric fan.
Warning
Using a match near a battery can
cause battery gas to explode. People
have been hurt doing this, and
some have been blinded. Use a
torch if you need more light.
Battery fluid contains acid that can
burn you. Do not get it on you.
If you accidentally get it in your
eyes or on your skin, flush the place
with water and get medical help
immediately.
Warning
Fans or other moving engine parts
can injure you badly. Keep your
hands away from moving parts
once the engine is running.

cables do not touch each other or
other metal.
Jump Lead Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jump leads.
After starting the disabled vehicle and
removing the jump leads, allow it to
idle for several minutes.
