WARNING - Loose Clothing/
Jewelry
Working under the hood with the engine
running is dangerous. It is even more
dangerous when you wear jewelry, long hair or
loose clothing. These can become entangled in
moving parts and result in injury. Therefore, if
you must run the engine while working under
the hood, make certain that you pull hair back,
remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets,
watches, and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose clothing before
getting near the engine or cooling fans.
WARNING - Engine Cooling
Fans
Because your engine cooling fans are
electrically controlled, they will run if the
ignition switch is on, even if the engine is not
running. This could cause serious injury. To
prevent this, be sure the ignition is off, unless
you must run the engine while performing
maintenance or an inspection.

WARNING - Battery dangers
Always read the following instructions
carefully when handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all other
flames or sparks away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly
combustible gas, is always present in
battery cells and may explode if
ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach of
children because batteries contain
highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID.
Do not allow battery acid to contact
your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish.
Wear eye protection when charging or
working near a battery. Always provide
ventilation when working in an
enclosed space.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If any electrolyte gets into your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention. If possible, continue
to apply water with a sponge or cloth
until medical attention is received.
If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contacted area. If
you feel a pain or a burning sensation,
get medical attention immediately.
• When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may cause
battery acid to leak, resulting in personal
injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
 Never attempt to charge the battery when
the battery cables are connected.
 The electrical ignition system works with
high voltage. Never touch these components
with the engine running or the ignition
switched on.
