A
CAUTION:
Using
a
match near
a
battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded. Use
a
flashlight if
you need more light.
Be sure the battery
has
enough water.
You
don’t
need to add water to the Delco Freedom@ battery
installed in every new
GM
vehicle. But if
a
battery
has
filler caps, be sure the right amount
of fluid is there.
If
it is low, add water to take
care of that first. If you don’t, explosive gas could
be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don’t get it on you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush the place with
water and get medical help immediately.
6.
Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose or
missing insulation.
If
they do,
you
could get a shock.
The vehicles could be damaged, too. Before you
connect the cables, here are some things
you
should
know.
Positive
(+)
will go to positive
(+)
and
negative
(-)
will
go
to negative
(-)
or a metal engine
part. Don’t connect positive
(+)
to negative
(-)
or
you’ll get a short that would damage the battery and
maybe other
parts,
too.
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engines are running.
