This is not a complete set of guidelines. It is your responsibility to safely maintain your
batteries and avoid injury. Use good judgement and remain alert to prevent an accident. In the
event of an accident or exposure to electrolyte, immediately seek prompt medical advice or
attention.
W A R N I N G
Do not allow any electrically conductive material to make contact with both the positive and
negative terminals at the same time (i.e. a hand tool used when disconnecting and reconnecting
battery cables). A short of this nature can cause severe burns and create dangerous sparks which
could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
C A U T I O N
When disconnecting and reconnecting battery cables, the black cable must be connected to the
negative terminal and the red cable must be connected to the positive terminal. Reversing these
connections will immediately damage your system.
Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running. This can cause damage to the charging
system. When replacing your battery, use the same brand and type as the factory installed battery.
If this is not available, reference your engine Owner’s Manual for recommended battery type and
required performance specifications.
