MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF ACID IS SWALLOWED,
DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF MILK OR WATER,
FOLLOWED BY MILK OF MAGNESIA, A BEATEN

CAUTION: Care should be taken when removing or
replacing the cable clamp bolts so that the battery
terminal is not subjected to any excessive lateral or
twisting forces. Such forces could cause major
damage to the internal components of the battery,
and leakage at the terminals.
1. Remove battery cables from battery terminals
(battery ground cable first).
2. Remove battery hold down components.
CAUTION: When lifting a plastic-cased battery, ex-
cessive pressure on the end walls could cause acid
to spew through the vent caps, resulting in personal
injury, damage to the equipment or battery. Lift with
a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite cor-
ners.
3. Remove battery from equipment.
