tery, always wear suitable eye protec-
tors (for example, goggles or indus-

rings, metal bands, or any other jew-
elry. Do not lean over the battery
when jump starting.

Do not attempt to jump start a frozen

serious injury.

gine cooling fan. It could come on at
any time. Keep hands and other ob-
jects away from it.
