techniques:
Do not attempt any type of servicing operating before reading and understanding

more than 4‐5 seconds while vehicle is in a 'no load' condition.
To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical arc, which could result in a battery
explosion, turn off all electrical loads from the battery before removing battery
wires.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the
skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended
flushing with clear water. Contact a physician immediately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10ml) of
sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liters) of water and
flushed with water.
