Start
by
removing
the red positive
(+)
terminal cover.
Using
a
match near
a
battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded. Use
a
flashlight
if
you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water.
You
don’t
need to add water to the ACDelco Freedom@
battery installed in every new
GM
vehicle. But
if
a
battery has filler caps, be sure the right
amount of fluid is there.
If
it
is
low, add water to
take care
of
that first.
If
you don’t, explosive gas
could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don’t get it on you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your
skin,
flush the place with
water and get medical help immediately.
