Warnings
Danger of serious injury and damage due to explosion, fire and
chemical burns!
When charging vehicle batteries, a highly explosive electrolytic gas mixture
(hydrogen and oxygen) is released; it is easily flammable and may release
highly acidic battery acid.
Wear safety goggles whenever servicing a battery.
Follow safety instructions on the outside of the battery.
Do not smoke.
Avoid fire, open flame and sparks.
Avoid sparks when handling cables and electrical devices, and through
electrostatic discharge.
Do not connect the minus pole of the battery jumper cable near to the
discharged battery (generates sparks).
Always remove negative battery ground cables first and install them
last to avoid sparks.
The vehicles must not touch (sparks will occur on connecting the
positive poles).
Never short-circuit the battery.
Ventilate batteries thoroughly before any external start.
When connecting the connecting lead, do not bend over the battery.
Avoid skin and eye contact with any battery acid that escapes.
Keep unauthorized persons clear of the battery.
Ensure that the battery voltage matches.
Never disconnect the batteries while the engine is running.
Potentially fatal injuries due to the engine taking in flammable gases!
Do not operate the engine in areas with a heavy concentration of
flammable vapors such as e. g. diesel, gas or propane.
When handling flammable liquids and gases, always shut off the
engine immediately.
Explosion risk from flammable fuel!
When working on fuel systems the fuel may ignite and cause life-
threatening injuries.
