If battery acid gets on your skin, flush with
water immediately.
If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with

KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
The battery contains harmful materials.
Always keep children away from the
battery whether or not it is fitted in the
motorcycle.
Do not attach jump leads to the battery,
touch the battery cables together or
reverse the polarity of the cables as any of
these actions may cause a spark which
would ignite battery gases causing a risk of
personal injury.
Ensure that the battery terminals do not
touch the motorcycle frame as this may
cause a short circuit or spark, which would
ignite battery gases causing a risk of
personal injury.
