WARNING
Battery dangers
Always read the following
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all
other flames or sparks away
from the battery.
Hydrogen, a highly combusti-
ble gas, is always present in
battery cells and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach
of children because batteries
contain highly corrosive SUL-
FURIC ACID. Do not allow bat-
tery acid to contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your eyes with
clean water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediate medi-
cal attention.
If electrolyte gets on your skin, thor-
oughly wash the contacted area. If you
feel pain or burning sensation, get medi-
cal attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a
battery. Always provide venti-
lation when working in an
enclosed space.
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local law(s) or regula-
tion.
僅 When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak, resulting in
personal injury. Lift with a battery car-
rier or with your hands on opposite
corners.
僅 Never attempt to recharge the battery
when the battery cables are con-
nected.
僅 The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage. Never touch these
components with the engine running
or the ignition switch is on.
Failure to follow the above warnings can
result in serious bodily injury or death.
CAUTION
僅 If you connect unauthorised electronic
devices to the battery, the battery
may be discharged. Never use unau-
thorised devices.
