WARNING
Batteries can explode!! Do not smoke or expose any
battery to electric sparks or flame. Batteries generate hydrogen when
charging or discharging. Hydrogen and air are a very explosive
mixture. Do not short across the battery terminals. The sparks could
ignite the gases. Do not wear metal jewelry or a watch when working on
a battery. Before doing any work on the electrical system, disconnect
battery cable and 12 volt power cord. Do not reconnect the cables until
all work has been completed. This will avoid the possibility of shorting
or causing damage to electrical components or shock to the servicing
person. Battery electrolyte is corrosive, poisonous and contains sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing or any painted surface.
