Maintenance
• Immediately rinse any electrolyte spilled from the battery using a solution of water
and baking soda.
• If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended period, disconnect the battery
cables.
WARNING
Always read the following instructions carefully when handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery.
Hydrogen, a highly combustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly
corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immediate medical attention. If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel pain or burning sensation, get
medical attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery. Always provide
ventilation when working in an enclosed space.
An inappropriately disposed battery can be harmful to the environment and
human health. Dispose the battery according to your local law(s) or regulation.
• When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure on the case may cause bat
tery acid to leak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your
hands on opposite corners.
• Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery cables are connected.
• The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these compo
nents with the READY indicator ON or when the EV button is in the ON position.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious bodily injury or death.
CAUTION
If you connect unauthorised electronic devices to the battery, the battery may be dis
charged. Never use unauthorised devices.
