General
CAUTION: Departure from these conditions or the procedure below could result in: (1) serious personal injury (particularly to eyes) or property damage from such causes as battery explosion, battery acid, or electrical burns; and/or (2) damage to electronic components of either vehicle.^ Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark. Batteries generate a gas which is flammable and explosive.
^ Remove rings, watches and other jewelry. Wear approved eye protection.
^ Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. Battery fluid (electrolyte) is a corrosive acid. Flush any electrolyte-contacted area with water immediately and thoroughly.
^ Be careful that metal tools or jumper cables do not contact the positive battery terminal (or metal in contact with it) and any other metal on the vehicle.
^ Turn all electrical loads and the ignition "OFF" when connecting a booster battery or a battery charger.
^ Keep jumper cables away from pulleys, fans, belts and any moving parts.
^ Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could cause an undesired electrical connection and possible sparking.
^ Make sure all electrical accessories remain off until the booster battery is disconnected to avoid damage.
