WARNING

Do not expose the battery to electrical

sparks, flames or smoking. Hydrogen
gas generated by the battery is explo-
sive. Explosive gases can cause blind-
ness or injury. Do not allow battery fluid
to contact your skin, eyes, fabrics or
painted surfaces. Sulfuric acid can
cause blindness or severe burns. After
touching a battery or battery cap, do not
touch or rub your eyes. Thoroughly
wash your hands. If the acid contacts
your eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for at least 15 minutes
and seek medical attention.

Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in

the battery is low. Low battery fluid can
cause a higher load on the battery
which can generate heat, reduce bat-
tery life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.

When working on or near a battery, al-

ways wear suitable eye protection and
remove all jewelry.

Do not tip the battery. Keep the vent

caps tight and the battery level.

Battery posts, terminals and related ac-

cessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash hands after handling.

Keep battery out of the reach of

children.

1. Remove the battery vent caps with a screw-

driver as shown.
