Manual

A
CAUTION:
Using a match near a battery can cause battery
gas
to explode. People have been hurt doing
this, and some have been blinded. Use a
flashlight
if
you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water.
You
don’t
need
to
add water to the
Delco
Freedom@ battery
installed
in
every new
GM
vehicle. But if a battery
has filler caps, be sure the right amount of fluid
is
there.
If
it
is
low, add water to take care of that
first. If you don’t, explosive gas cduld be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don’t
get
it
on
you.
If
you accidentally get
it
in
your
eyes
or on your skin, flush the place with
water and
get
medical help immediately.

the
battery and maybe
other parts, too.
