When Performing Inspection And Maintenance; When Removing Battery - Isuzu 4LE2 Owner's Manual

WARNING
• Make sure to stop the engine when inspecting the battery.
• The battery fluid is diluted sulfuric acid. Be extremely careful not to let the fluid
get on your hands, clothes, or metals. If it happens, wash the fluid away with
water immediately.
• When disconnecting the cables from the terminals, start with the negative
(-) terminal. Also, when connecting them, the negative (-) terminal should be
connected the last.
• When connecting the battery cables, take care to avoid mixing up the positive
(+) terminal and the negative (-) terminal. Excess current flows, and the
generator or machine wiring may be burned out.
• When performing inspection or refill, be careful not to splash the battery fluid
on nylon tubes, harnesses, etc., and if it is attached, wash it away with water
immediately. Particularly, the nylon tube does not readily withstand acids, so it
is likely to become damaged.
• When using a battery charger, be sure to remove the cables from the battery
terminals.
• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

When Removing Battery

When removing the battery, disconnect the battery cable negative (-) terminal side
first. If a tool contacts the battery positive (+) terminal and the engine with the cable
on the negative (-) terminal side connected to the battery, it is dangerous because a
short-circuit can be created. Also, this may cause a failure in the electrical system.
