To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be
followed.
WARNING
●
If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to
a battery explosion, resulting in severe in-
jury or death. It could also damage your
vehicle.
●
Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks
and flames away from the battery.
●
Do not allow battery fluid to come into con-
tact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted sur-
faces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulphuric
acid solution which can cause severe burns.
If the fluid should come into contact with
anything, immediately flush the contacted
area with water.
●
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
●
The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can
damage your vehicle.
●
Whenever working on or near a battery, al-
ways wear suitable eye protectors (for ex-
ample, goggles or industrial safety spec-
tacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or
any other jewelry. Do not lean over the bat-
tery when jump starting.
●
Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery.
It could explode and cause serious injury.
●
Your vehicle has an automatic engine cool-
ing fan. It could come on at any time. Keep
hands and other objects away from it.
