NOTE
Open the terminal cover before connecting
the jumper cable to the positive terminal of
the battery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 9-12.)
Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables could
result.
Check the jumper cables for damage and cor-
rosion before use.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the proper order when
connecting the batteries, of:
Make sure that the connection
is made
to the engine properly. If the connection is
directly made to the negative terminal of
the battery, the flammable gases from
inside the battery might catch fire and
explode, causing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cable, do not
connect the positive (+) cable to the nega-
tive (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks can
make the battery explode.
CAUTION
Make sure that the jumper cable will not be
caught in the cooling fan or other moving
parts in the engine compartment.
WARNING
Charging your battery while it is still in
your vehicle might cause the battery to
catch fire and explode. If you have to
charge it while in the vehicle, disconnect
the negative (-) terminal.
Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery could
explode.
Keep your work area well vented when
charging or using the battery in an
enclosed space.
Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.
Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro-
sive diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolyte
comes in contact with your hands, eyes,
clothes, or the painted surface of your
vehicle, thoroughly flush with water. If
electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately and thoroughly with water,
and get prompt medical attention.
Always wear protective clothing and gog-
gles when working near the battery.
Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
