is always present in bat-
tery cells and may
explode if ignited.

eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and
get immediate medical
attention. If possible,
continue to apply water
with a sponge or cloth
until medical attention is
received.
If electrolyte gets on
your skin, thoroughly
wash the contacted area.
If you feel a pain or a
burning sensation, get
medical attention imme-
diately.

When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure on
the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in person-
al injury. Lift with a battery car-
rier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Never attempt to charge the
battery when the battery cables
are connected.
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage. Never
touch these components with
the engine running or the igni-
tion switched on.
