water. INTERNAL: Drink large
quantities of water or milk. Follow
with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Call a doctor
immediately. EYES: Flush with
water for 15 minutes and get prompt

● When the battery electrolyte is
frozen, the battery can explode if,
(1) you try to charge the battery, or
(2) you try to jump start and run the

electrolyte from freezing, try to keep
the battery at full charge. If you do
not follow these instructions, you or

the radiator cap, let the cooling
system cool, turn to the first notch,
