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.
• 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.• Never attempt to recharge the battery when the battery cables are connected.
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 damaged in low temperatures.
