DANGER
•
Never use an open flame in the battery
storage area.
•
Avoid striking sparks near the batteries.
•
A battery will explode if a flame or spark ignites
the free hydrogen given off during charging.
Use ONLY Marine Rated parts to replace such items
as starters, distributors, alternators, generators,
etc. Do not use Automotive Parts because they
are not ignition protected and could cause a fire or
explosion.
!
DANGER
While the engine or generator is running, the
battery terminal clamps must not be loosened or
detached nor should the battery solenoid
switch(es) be turned off. The alternator and other
electronic units will be damaged.
