The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the battery.
lWhen working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care
not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing
or the vehicle body.
l Do not lean over the battery.
l 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.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention
can be received.
l Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
l Do not allow children near the battery.
NOTICE

or any of the belts when connecting or disconnecting them.
