Be sure to stay out of the travel lane.
SECURE THE VEHICLE
from moving. Always apply the parking
brake and put car into "Park" position. Be aware that even on level
ground as you inflate a tire you could cause the vehicle to rollaway.
It is recommended that you curb and block the tires as an extra
safety precaution against rollaway incidents.

second pressure gauge to verify the actual pressure inside the tires.
Set tires to the vehicle manufacture’s recommended tire pressure
.
If
you are unsure, contact the manufacturer.
LEAD ACID BATTERY PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY:
Never
smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or
engine. Batteries generate explosive gases!
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection when working
with lead-acid batteries.
Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough to
come to your aid when you work with or near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts skin or
clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid particles
(corrosion) may get into your eyes! If acid enters your eye,
immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes.
Get medical attention immediately.
Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,
and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid
battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring
(or the like) to metal, causing a severe burn.
Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the battery.
Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery or another
electrical device. Sparking may cause an explosion.
