Jump Starting: Service Precautions

CAUTION:  Batteries produce explosive gases, contain corrosive acid, and supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns.
Therefore, to reduce the risk of personal injury when working near a battery:

-

Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible.

-

Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks.

-

Do not allow the battery electrolyte to contact the eyes or the skin. Flush immediately and thoroughly any contacted areas with water and
get medical help.

-

Follow each step of the jump starting procedure in order.

-

Treat both the booster and the discharged batteries carefully when using the jumper cables.

-

Do not connect a jumper cable directly to the negative terminal of a discharged battery to prevent sparking and possible explosion of
battery gases.
