Start
by
removing
the
red
positive
(+)
terminal
cover.
A
CAUTION:
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 Delco 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.
