WARNING
• The battery has acid that can burn you. And its gas can explode.
You can get serious injuries if you are not careful. Keep naked
flames, sparks and smoking items away from the battery.
• Loosely connected batter terminals can set up sparks. These
sparks can cause a fire with flammable gas. Therefore, tightly
connect the terminals.
• At night, if you need to check the engine room, do not use a
lighter, but only use a battery-powered flashlight.
• Because the battery electrolyte is very strong acid, avoid any
direct contact of the battery electrolyte on your skin or vehicle's
body. If the acid contacts your skin, thoroughly wash your skin
with fresh water and see your doctor. Do the same on your
vehicle.
• Wear eye protection when working with a battery. If working in
a closed area, keep good ventilation.

CAUTION
• If you disconnect the battery terminal when the engine is running,
electrical systems could be damaged.
• To remove the battery cable, disconnect the negative cable first.
And be careful on the battery terminal polarity when you con-
nect the cables. The negative and the positive should not be
confused.
• The polarity of the battery, i.e. the connections for positive and
negative cables, must not be interchanged. Never short-circuit
the battery.
• When the ambient temperature is too low, the battery capacity
will drop and can be frozen.
• Keep the battery electrolyte at its specified level. If the electro-
lyte level is higher than the MAX level, it can overflow during
battery charging and if the electrolyte is overcharged, the bat-
tery can explode.
• Only use a battery with the approved voltage and capacity.
Otherwise, an incompatible battery can catch fire.
