308 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
•
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn
or even blind you. Don't allow battery fluid to contact
your eyes, skin, or clothing. Don't lean over a battery
when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on
skin, flush the area immediately with large amounts of
water.
•
Battery gas is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or
sparks away from the battery. Don't use a booster
battery or any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Don't allow cable clamps to touch
each other.
•
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
•
The battery in this vehicle has a vent hose that should
not be disconnected and should only be replaced with
a battery of the same type (vented).
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the cables on the
battery that the positive cable is attached to the
positive post and the negative cable is attached to
the negative post. Battery posts are marked posi-
tive (+) and negative (-) and identified on the
battery case. Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
• If a "fast charger" is used while the battery is in
the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle battery cables
before connecting the charger to the battery. Do
not use a "fast charger" to provide starting voltage.
