Note!
Batteries contain acid which is
corrosive and poisonous. It is
therefore important that batteries are
handled in an environmentally safe
manner. Let your Volvo dealer help
you.
Batteries contain oxyhydrogen
gas which is very explosive. A
spark, which can ignite if you
connect the starting cables
incorrectly, or if they are moved
around during the starting
procedure, is sufficient for the
battery to explode and cause
serious damage and injury.
Batteries contain sulphuric acid
which can give serious burns. If
the acid gets in your eyes, skin or
clothes, rinse with large amounts
of water. If the acid gets in your
eyes, get medical attention at
once. Do not lean over the
batteries.
So-called start help units must not
be connected, because these can
give very high voltages, which
can in turn damage control units.
Warning!
Caution!
