WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective
clothing should be worn and care exer-
cised to prevent the acid from coming into
contact with skin or clothing and the ve-

be exercised to prevent sparks occurring
during connection. If acid accidentally
comes into contact with skin or eyes, the
affected area should immediately be flushed
