Vehicle batteryBATTERY WARNING SYMBOLS
Do not allow any naked flames, or
other sources of ignition near the
battery as the battery may emit
explosive gasses.
Ensure that when working near, or
handling the battery, suitable eye
protection is worn. This will reduce
the risk of eye dama ge caused by acid
splashes.
To prevent risk of injury, do not allow
children near the battery.
Be aware that the battery may emit
explosive gasses.
The battery contains acid which is
extremely corrosive, and toxic.
BATTERY CARE
WARNINGS
Do not allow the battery electrolyte
(fluid) come into contact with your skin
or eyes. It is both corrosive and toxic, and the
resulting injuries can be severe. If any
electrolyte does come into contact with your
skin or eyes, immediately rinse the affected
area with clean, cold water. Immediate medical
advice will be required.
If battery electrolyte comes into contact
with your skin and/or clothes you
should remove the affect ed clothing and flush
the skin with copious am ounts of water. Seek
medical assistance immediately.
If battery electrolyte comes into contact
with your eyes, flush with copious
amounts of clean cold water. Seek medical
assistance immediately, and continue to flush
with water.
If swallowed, battery electrolyte can be
fatal. If electrolyte is swallowed seek
medical assistance immediately.
Do not connect any 12 volt equipment
directly to the battery terminals. Doing
so may cause a spark, which can result in an
explosion.
The cell plugs and vent pipe must be in
place at all times when the battery is
connected to the vehicle. Ensure that the vent
pipe is clear of obstr uctions and not kinked.
Failure to do so may cause a pressure build up
in the battery, resulting in an explosion.
Do not expose the battery to a naked
flame or spark as the battery produces
explosive, flammable gas.
Never jump start (boost) or charge, a
frozen battery. Doing so can result in an
explosion.

forward direction with all four wheels on
the ground. Towing in a reverse direction with
two wheels on the ground will result in serious
damage to the transmission.
The vehicle should only be towed for a
