Using
a
match near
a
battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded. Use
a
flashlight if
you need more light.
Be sure the battery
has
enough water.
You
don’t
need to add water
to
the Delco Freedom@ battery
installed in every new
GM
vehicle. But if
a
battery has filler caps, be sure the right amount
of
fluid is there. If it is low, add water to take care
of that first.
If
you don’t, explosive gas could be
present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don’t get
it
on you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush the place with
1
water and get medical help immediately.
6. Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose
or
missing insulation. If they do,
you
could get a shock.
The vehicles could be damaged too.
Before
you
connect the cables, here
are
some things
you should know. Positive
(+)
will go to positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
will go to negative
(-)
or
a
metal
engine part. Don’t connect positive
(+)
to negative
(-)
or you’ll get
a
short that would damage the battery and
maybe other parts too.
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engines are running.
