WARNING
Any procedure other than the proceeding could
result in:
(1) Personal injury caused by electrolyte
squirting out of the battery vents.
(2) Personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.
(3) Damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or of the immobilized
vehicle.
Do not attempt to jump start a vehicle having a
frozen battery because the battery may rupture
or explode. If a frozen battery is suspected,
examine all fill vents on the battery. If ice
can be seen or if the electrolyte fluid cannot
be seen, do not attempt to start with jumper
cables as long as the battery remains frozen.

WARNING
For your personal safety, use extreme caution
when jump starting.
Never expose battery to open flame or electric
spark—battery action generates hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive.
Do not allow battery acid to contact skin, eyes,
fabrics or painted surfaces. Batteries contain a
sulfuric acid solution which can cause serious
personal injury or property damage.
When removing or installing battery cables,
disconnect the negative cable first and
reconnect it last. If not done in this order, the
positive terminal can be shorted to the frame
by a tool.
To avoid engine damage, do not disconnect
the battery while engine is running. Be sure
terminal connections are tight before starting.
