To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine, first disconnect the negative (–) terminal and then the positive (+) terminal. When connecting the battery, first connect the positive (+) terminal and then the negative (–) terminal.
WARNING
(1) Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the battery because the
battery could explode.
(2) The battery electrolyte is extremely caustic. Do not
allow it to come in contact with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the painted surfaces
of the vehicle. Spilled electrolyte should be flushed immediately with ample amounts
of water. Irritation to eyes or skin from contact with electrolyte requires immediate
medical attention.
(3) Ventilate when charging or using the battery in an enclosed
space.
CAUTION
(1) Never disconnect the battery with the ignition switch in the “ON” position;
doing so could damage the vehicle’s electrical components.
(2) Never short-circuit
the battery; doing so could cause it to overheat and damage it.
(3) Always wear
protective eye goggles when working near the battery.
(4) If the battery is to
be quick-charged, first disconnect the battery cables.
(5) In order to prevent
a short circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative (–) terminal first.
(6) Keep
it out of the reach of children.
NOTE
(1) Keep the terminals clean. After the battery is connected, apply terminal
protection grease. To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water.
(2) Check to see
if the battery is securely installed and cannot be moved during travel. Also check
each terminal for tightness.
(3) When the vehicle is to be left unused for a long
period of time, remove the battery and store it in a place where the battery fluid
will not freeze. The battery should be stored only in a fully charged condition.
