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.
