DANGER
Explosive battery fumes may accumulate in the
engine compartment. While the engine is running
or the battery is charging, hydrogen gas is being
produced by a lead acid battery and can be
easily ignited. Failure to properly ventilate fumes
with the bilge blower may result in explosive
atmosphere.

around batteries.
x Do not smoke or bring a flame near a battery.
x Do not check for a dead battery by placing a metal object
between the battery posts. Sparks could cause an explosion.

or breaking electrical connections.
