may be burned by the battery acid, and
a short circuit may lead to personnel
injuries and damages to your vehicle.
Keep batteries away from flames and
sparks.
Do not lean over the battery while
jump starting the vehicle.
Caution (Continued)
Do not let the cable terminals contact
each other.
Wear eye protection when working
near the batteries.
Do not let battery acid come into
contact with your eyes and skin,
fabrics, and painted surfaces.
Make sure that the battery to be use

voltage rating as that of the drained
battery.
Do not disconnect the drained battery
from the vehicle.
Failure to observe the above cautions or
the instructions below may result in
battery explosion, burning by battery
