with water and seek medical at-
tention.

sparks and smoking. Ensure
there is sufficient ventilation
while charging and jump-start-
ing. Do not lean over the battery.

minal of a connected battery

the described order of the bat-
tery terminals when connecting

you are in doubt, seek assis-
tance from qualified specialist
