Hydrogen in batteries is highly flammable. Fire or
explosion can cause death or serious injury.

• Wear the necessary personal protective equipment, including sufficiently insulated gloves and
safety glasses.
• Keep sparks, fire and other ignition sources away.
• Do not charge a battery that is leaking, bulging, heavily corroded, frozen, or otherwise damaged.
• Use a single 12V maximum source for charging. Do not connect to rapid chargers or dual batteries.
• NEVER short-circuit battery terminals for any reason or strike battery posts or cable terminals.
• NEVER lean over battery when making connections.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch when charging.
• Do not allow battery clamps to touch.
NOTICE: Electrical surge hazard.
Electronic components can be damaged during jump start procedure.

currents (400 amps or more).
