Do not let children touch the battery.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
burns skin, eyes, and clothing. If the
acid touches someone's skin, eyes, or
clothing, immediately flush the area
with water for at least 15 minutes. If
someone swallows the acid, have him
or her drink lots of milk or water
first, then Milk of Magnesia, a
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call a
doctor immediately.

1. Your vehicle has a 12-volt starting system, so
you need to use a 12-volt jumper system.
You will damage your starting motor,
ignition system, and other electrical parts if
you connect them to a 24-volt power supply
(either two 12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt generator set).
