GENERAL SAFETY
BATTERY HAZARDS
Lead acid batteries can be dangerous. The sulfuric acid in the battery can cause
severe skin and eye burns. The hydrogen gas emitted during charging can explode
if an arc or flame is present.
DO NOT smoke while servicing the battery.
DO NOT allow tools to touch battery terminals and create an arc.
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery when working on the engine or other
parts to prevent accidental arcing. Disconnect the negative cable at the end away
from the battery.
DO NOT remove the vent caps when charging the battery.
Always wear eye protection when servicing the battery.
If acid gets on skin or eyes, immediately flush under running water and obtain medi-
cal attention.
