WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When
working with batteries, carefully
observe the following precautions
to avoid serious injuries.

vehicle’s alternator), they produce
explosive gases. Always observe
these warnings to prevent injuries from
occurring:
The fluid in the battery contains a
strong solution of sulfuric acid, which
is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be
careful not to spill it on yourself or the
car. If you do spill battery fluid on
yourself, immediately do the follow-
ing:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven-
tilated area.

smoking in the area.
