(12V) and approximately the same capaci-
ty (see imprint on battery). Failure to com-
ply could result in an explosion.
Never use jump leads when one of the
●
batteries is frozen. Danger of explosion!
Even after the battery has thawed, battery
acid could leak and cause chemical burns.
If a battery freezes, it should be replaced.
Keep sparks, flames and lighted ciga-
●
rettes away from batteries, danger of ex-
plosion. Failure to comply could result in an
explosion.
Observe the instructions provided by the
●
manufacturer of the jump leads.
Do not connect the negative cable from
●
the other vehicle directly to the negative
terminal of the flat battery. The gas emit-
ted from the battery could be ignited by
sparks. Danger of explosion.
Never attach the negative cable to fuel
●
system components or the brake lines in
the other vehicle.
The non-insulated parts of the battery
●
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the
vehicle, this can cause a short circuit.
Position the leads in such a way that they
●
cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Do not lean on the batteries. This could
●
result in chemical burns.
