To avoid personal injury or damage to electrical components in vehicle, observe the following warnings: • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don't allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Don't lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area immediately with large amounts of water. • Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source that has a greater than 12-volt system, i.e., do not use a 24-volt power source. • Never attempt to jump start a discharged battery that is frozen, because it could rupture or explode during jump starting. 6
