17-3. If the battery is overdischarged
• Stop the engine and turn the starter switch key to
the "OFF" position before checking or servicing
the battery.
• Flammable hydrogen gas is produced by the bat-
tery, which may cause ignition. Keep flames,
sparks and lit cigarettes away from the battery.
• The battery electrolyte contains dilute sulfuric
acid, which is a strong acid.
If the battery electrolyte contacts your clothes,
they may be damaged.
If the battery electrolyte gets into your eyes or
contacts your skin, flush immediately with large
amounts of water, and obtain medical treatment
at once.
• Be sure to wear safety goggles when handling a
battery.
• To disconnect the terminals, begin with the neg-
ative terminal (ground side); to connect the ter-
minals, begin with the positive terminal.
If a tool touches both the positive terminal and
the machine, hazardous sparks may be generat-
ed.
• If a terminal is loose, hazardous sparks may be
generated due to poor contact, which could
cause ignition and explosion.
Be sure to securely connect the terminals.
To disconnect, begin with the negative terminal
(ground side)
To connect, begin with the positive terminal
