SAFETY
• Make sure that the fuel filler cap is mounted
tightly and no flammable substances are kept in
an open vessel.

when working with
the battery and the
heavy cables of the
starter circuit. This
can cause battery
explosion, fire or eye
injury. Sparking will
not occur after the grounding cable (normally
negative, black) is removed from the battery.
• Disconnect the grounding cable from the battery
first and reconnect it last.
• Do not make a bridge short circuit across the
starter relay to run the starter.

If you spill battery acid on your skin, rinse
immediately with water.

doctor immediately.
