se note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
›››
page 203.
●
The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. Addi-
tionally, the jump lead attached to the posi-
tive battery terminal must not touch metal
parts of the vehicle. Risk of short circuit!
●
Do not connect the negative lead to the
negative terminal of the discharged battery.
In the event of sparks when starting the en-
gine, the explosive gas given off by the bat-
tery could catch fire.
●
Position the jump leads in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with any mov-
ing parts in the engine compartment.
●
Do not bend over the battery. Risk of acid
burns!
●
The screw plugs on the battery cells must
be screwed in firmly.
●
Keep sources of fire (flames, lit cigarettes,
etc.) away from the battery. - Risk of explo-
sion!
●
Never use the jump leads on batteries in
which the electrolyte level is too low. Risk of
explosion and acid burns.
Note
●
The vehic
les must not touch each other, as
electricity could flow as soon as the positive
terminals are connected.
●
The disc
harged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle electrical system.
●
The jump leads should be checked in a spe-
cialist vehicle battery shop.
