Checking the Battery

CAUTION: Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte
is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn skin,
eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if
splashed into eyes. Wear eye protection and
avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
Flush eyes with water for 15-30 minutes if acid
is splashed into eyes.
If acid is swallowed, get medical attention
immediately.
DO NOT attempt to open, add fluid or service
battery. Any attempt to do so will void
warranty and lead to possible injury.
•Keep battery and terminals clean.
•Keep battery bolts tight.
•Keep small vent holes open.
•Recharge, if necessary, at 6–10 amperes for 1 hour.
