A
CAUTION:
-
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 ACDelco 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
water and get medical help immediately.
5.
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 basic
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
&om
moving
parts
once the engine is running.
