CALIFORNIA PROPOSI-
TION 65 WARNING
When lifting  a  plastic-cased bat-
tery,  excessive  pressure  on  the
case  may  cause battery  acid  to
leak, resulting in  personal injury.
Lift with  a battery carrier  or with
your hands on opposite corners.
Battery posts,  terminals, and relat-
ed  accessories   contain  lead  and
lead compounds, chemicals known
to the  State  of California  to cause
cancer, birth defects, and reproduc-
tive  harm.  Batteries   also  contain
other chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer. Wash
hands after handling.
If the battery becomes discharged in a
short  time (because, for  example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while  the   vehicle  was   not  in   use),
recharge  it  by slow  charging  (trickle)
for 10 hours.
Never  attempt   to   recharge  the
battery  when  the battery  cables
are connected.
The   electrical   ignition   system
works  with  high  voltage.  Never
touch these components with the
engine  running   or  the   ignition
switched on.
If   the  battery   gradually   discharges
because of high electric load  while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A
for two hours.
