WARNING
To prevent personal injury and / or death, or damage to property, keep lighted tobacco,
flames, sparks or other ignition sources away from the batteries. Gas from the battery cells
is flammable and can ignite and / or explode. This is particularly true when jumper cables

Check the batteries for loose wires or corrosion at the terminals to prevent possible battery or starting failure.
