WARNING
• Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The battery produces hydrogen
gas which may explode if exposed to flame or sparks. If these instructions are not
followed exactly, serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If
you are not sure how to follow this procedure, seek qualified assistance. Automobile
batteries contain sulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive. When jump
starting, wear protective glasses and be careful not to get acid on yourself, your
clothing or on the vehicle.
• Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if the discharged battery is frozen or if the
electrolyte level is low; the battery may rupture or explode.
• Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper cables to touch. It may cause sparks.
