Battery Precautions!
Read these instructions care-
fully:
To ensure safe and correct handling
of your battery, read the following
precautions carefully before using
the battery or inspecting it.
Wear eye protection:
Always wear eye protection when
working near your vehicle’s battery.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid,
so it can cause blindness if
splashed into your eyes. Also, bat-
teries emit highly flammable, explo-
sive hydrogen gas. Eye protection is
vital for protection in the event that
this gas ignites.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric
acid:
Since battery fluid contains sulfuric
acid, be sure to wear eye protection
and protective gloves when inspect-
ing your vehicle’s battery. Avoid tip-
ping the battery and subjecting it to
shocks since this could cause fluid
to spill.
Under no circumstances allow bat-
tery fluid to make contact with your
skin, eyes, or clothing since this can
cause blindness and burns. If bat-
tery fluid splashes onto your skin,
eyes or clothing, wash it away im-
mediately with plenty of water. If
battery fluid splashes into your
eyes, seek medical attention imme-
diately.
If battery fluid is accidentally swal-
lowed, immediately drink a large
amount of milk or water, and seek
medical attention immediately.
Battery fluid is corrosive. If it
splashes onto your vehicle’s paint-
work or fabrics, wash it away imme-
diately with plenty of water.
Keep children away:
Batteries must be handled only by
persons who are aware of the poten-
tial hazards. Take particular care to
keep children away from your vehi-
cle’s battery. Improper handling can
cause blindness and burns.
Keep flames away:
Before working on or near your ve-
hicle’s battery, extinguish all ciga-
rettes, matches, and lighters. Also,
keep the battery away from flamma-
ble items and electrical sparks.
Since batteries emit highly flamma-
ble, explosive hydrogen gas, any
flames or sparks in the vicinity
could cause an explosion.
When working near your vehicle’s
battery, take care that metal tools do
not short-circuit the battery’s (+)
and (–) terminals or connect the bat-
tery’s (+) terminal to the vehicle’s
body. A short circuit could create
electrical sparks and lead to an ex-
plosion.
