Battery Explosion - Avoid

WARNING: Battery fumes are flammable and can explode. Keep all burning materials away
from battery. Battery explosion can blind. Acid can blind and burn. Tools and cable clamps
can make sparks.
Do not smoke. Shield eyes and face. Read instructions.
Do not jump-start or charge a battery that is frozen or low on electrolyte.
Avoid explosion hazard.
Do not allow vehicle used to jump-start to be in contact with the disabled machine. Vehicles in contact have a
ground connection which allows a spark to occur at the battery when the positive jumper cable is connected or
removed. If equipped with battery caps, they must be in place and tight to reduce risk of battery explosion.
IMPORTANT: Use only a 12-volt system for jump-starting. Do not allow vehicles to touch.
