A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
PositiontheACandDCcablestoreducetheriskofdamagebythehood,doorand6.1
movingorhotengineparts.NOTE:Ifitisnecessarytoclosethehoodduringthe
chargingprocess,ensurethatthehooddoesnottouchthemetalpartofthebatteryclips
orcuttheinsulationofthecables.
Stayclearoffanblades,belts,pulleysandotherpartsthatcancauseinjury.6.2
Checkthepolarityofthebatteryposts.ThePOSITIVE(POS,P,+)batterypostusually6.3

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Checkthepolarityofthebatteryposts.ThePOSITIVE(POS,P,+)batterypostusually7.1
