■ Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following precautions before
recharging:
●
If recharging with the 12-volt battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to dis-
connect the ground cable.
●
Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
