WARNING - Battery dangers

Always read the following instructions carefully when handling a battery.
 

Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery.
 

Hydrogen, a highly combustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignited.
 

Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish.

If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.

If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burning sensation, get medical attention immediately.

Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery. Always provide ventilation when working in an enclosed space.

An inappropriately disposed battery can be harmful to the environment and human health. Dispose the battery according to your local law(s) or regulation.

• • When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid to leak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
• • Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery cables are connected.
• • The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switched on.

Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious bodily injury or death.

CAUTION

• • When you don’t use the vehicle for a long time in the low temperature, remove the battery and store it indoors.
• • Always charge the battery fully to prevent the battery case from being damaged in low temperatures.
• • If you use unauthorized electric devices, the battery may be discharged. Never use unauthorized devices.
