Use and Care Manual

1. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

2. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine

or batteries.

3. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool

on the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery

or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.

4. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and

watches when working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-

acid batteries produce a short circuit current high

enough to weld metal to skin, causing severe burn.

5. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case

battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

6. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.

Avoid touching your eyes while working near the

batteries.

7. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash

immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye,

immediately flood it with running cold water for at least

twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

8. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the

ground terminal from the battery first. Make sure all

accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.
