Warning
Ensure that the battery terminals do not
touch any part of the motorcycle as this
may cause a short circuit or spark which
would ignite battery gases causing a risk of
personal injury and damage to the
motorcycle.
Warning
The battery acid is corrosive and poisonous
and will cause damage to unprotected
skin. Never swallow battery acid or allow it
to come into contact with the skin. To
prevent injury, always wear eye and skin
protection when handling the battery.
