Specific safety instructions
WARNING
Batteries can explode or cause chemical burns. A battery contains sulfuric acid
and emits explosive gases when heavily discharged.
☞ Do not smoke or use an open flame near the battery.
☞ Do not handle the battery recklessly, causing acid to leak or spill.
☞ Do not add circuits or electrical accessories that exceed the system
capacity.
☞ Do not connect a circuit without a correctly-rated fuse or circuit breaker.
NOTICE: Possible equipment damage from improper battery connections.
☞
When connecting the battery leads, make sure the poles +/– are not inverted, otherwise
sensitive electric components will be damaged.
☞ Use only 12 V power sources. Higher voltages will damage the electric components.
☞ Do not interrupt voltage-carrying circuits at the battery terminals because of the danger
of sparking.

☞ Disconnect the negative (–) battery terminal from the battery before starting repair
work on the electric system.
☞ Dispose of used batteries properly.
