into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as brackets or
unpainted metal.

other.

any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately
wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.

tery-related parts.
