BATTERY: troubleshooting
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure that any consumers(courtesy lights etc.) are switched
off before disconnecting or
reconnecting the battery.
- When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
- Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short
circuit between the terminals.
- Never disconnect a battery less than twenty seconds after the
engine has been switched off.
- Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting. Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid
which must not come into
contact with the eyes or
skin. If it does, wash the affected
area with plenty of cold water.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
Take care when working in the
engine compartment as the engine
cooling fan may start to operate at
any moment without warning.
Risk of injury.
