Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
Wear eye protection when working on the vehicle. Use extra care when work-
ing around batteries, or using solvents or compressed air.
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.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl tape to reduce the possibility of a dropped wrench
'shorting out' a battery, which could result in an explosion.
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 (10 ml) sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liters) of water and flushed with water.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant must be used with extreme care. Insulate
metal container to reduce the possibility of can contacting battery terminals which could result
in an explosion.
