Battery Box Access for Jump Start

DANGER
When inspecting or cleaning batteries,
never smoke or expose batteries (or
the areas around them) to spark or
flames. The battery area may contain an
explosive gas mixture that can ignite,
causing an explosion, leading to serious
personal injury or death.
DANGER
When installing the battery cover, make
sure it is resting properly on the box
before fastening the latches. Faulty
installation may cause the cover to shift
when the steps are used, which may
lead to a fall, causing serious personal
injury or death.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection when
working around batteries to prevent
the risk of injury due to contact with
sulfuric acid or an explosion.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead compounds,
chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
