cables with acid neutralizing solution (e.g. baking soda and water or ammonia) and
wire brush. Replace cables and/or cable clamp bolts as required.

positioned and are not pinched. Close battery compartment cover.
Never work on the electrical system of any equipment unless you are
thoroughly familiar with system detail.
Never check the battery by placing a metal object across the posts. Serous
burns or an explosion can result.

Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid which will damage eyes or skin on
contact. When working around batteries always wear a face shield to avoid
acid in eyes. If acid contacts eyes, flush immediately either clear water and
get medical attention. Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing to keep
acid off skin. If acid contacts skin, wash off immediately with clean water.
Disconnect the battery before working on the electrical system. Remove the
ground terminal first. When reconnecting the battery, reconnect the ground
terminal last.
When using an extra battery to jump start an engine, before make
connections, you should be sure polarity of battery and the correct
connections. When using extra battery always make last connection to
engine or ground (never at battery). When removing jump start cables,
always remove connection from engine or ground first.
Follow manufacturer’s directions for Jump start of engines with aid of
extra battery. Operator must be at a control station when jump starting
engine so that machine will be under control when engine starts. Jump
starting is a two-person operation.
