Precautions when working with vehicle batteries:

WARNING: Explosion and fire hazard

Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.

3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the

engine or batteries.

4. Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals.

5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. Batteries produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or other similar objects to metal, causing a severe burn.

6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the negative terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off to prevent causing a spark.

7. Someone should be within range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid when you work near batteries.

Have plenty of fresh water, soap and a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the batteries in case of contact with battery acid. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte.
