SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
may result if personnel fail to observe the following safety precautions.
Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas. Be careful making connections. Do not smoke when servicing the
battery.
Be sure the master battery switch is off before disconnecting or connecting battery cables.
Always disconnect the ground cable first and connect it last. Make sure the POS (+) and NEG (-) connections
