WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD:
The battery terminals, metal tools and metal ve-
hicle parts could short together.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN:
Sparks can cause battery gasses to explode.
Damaged cables could short against metal ve-
hicle parts and cause sparks.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD:
When removing or installing the batteries, do
not allow the battery terminals to short against
metal parts of the vehicle.
Do not allow metal tools or metal vehicle parts to
short between the battery terminals or battery
cables.
Always keep the battery hold downs in place to
protect and secure the batteries.
