WARNING - Battery dangers
Always read the following instructions
carefully when handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all other
flames or sparks away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly
combustible gas, is always present in
battery cells and may explode if
ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach of
children because batteries contain
highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID.
Do not allow battery acid to contact
your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish.
Wear eye protection when charging or
working near a battery. Always provide
ventilation when working in an
enclosed space.

(Continued)
If any electrolyte gets into your eyes,
flush your 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 immediately.
• When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may cause
battery acid to leak, resulting in personal
injury. Lift with a battery carrier 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 ignition
switched on.

Battery MaintenanceFor best battery service:
 Keep the battery securely mounted.
 Keep the battery top clean and dry.
 Keep the terminals and connections clean, tight, and
coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
 Immediately rinse any spilled electrolyte from the
battery with a solution of water and baking soda.
 If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, disconnect the battery cables.Maintenance7-32Battery Recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, calcium-based
battery.
 If the battery becomes discharged in a short time
(headlights or interior lights were left on while the
vehicle was not in use), recharge it by slow (trickle)
charging for 10 hours.
 If the battery gradually discharges because of high
electric load while the vehicle is being used,
recharge it at 20-30A for two hours.

 Watch the battery during charging, and stop
or reduce the charging rate if the battery
cells begin gasing (boiling) violently or if the
temperature of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).
 Wear eye protection when checking the
battery during charging.
