WARNING
Disconnect the NEGATIVE (NEG) terminal of the battery assembly prior to disconnecting or connecting
the electrical starter cable. Failure to do so could cause electrical shock and severe damage to the system.
Remove all jewelry before starting work. Metal objects such as rings or tools can cause short circuits. Do
not allow tools to contact live circuits. A direct short can cause instant heating of tools resulting in
equipment damage and personnel burns. Failure to comply may result in personal injury.
Wear eye protection and protective gloves when working with batteries. If battery acid splashes on face or
into eyes, flush with clean water and get immediate medical treatment. If acid gets on skin, wash with soap
and water. If skin irritation, rash, or eye redness occurs, get medical attention. Failure to comply may
result in burns or blindness.
