CAUTION:
^ Batteries produce explosive gases, contain corrosive acid, and supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, to reduce the risk of personal injury when working near a battery:
^ Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible.
^ Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks.
^ Do not allow the battery electrolyte to contact the eyes or the skin. Flush immediately and thoroughly any contacted areas with water and get medical help.
^ Follow each step of the lump starting procedure in order.
^ Treat both the booster and the discharged batteries carefully when using the jumper cables.
^ Do not connect a jumper cable directly to the negative terminal of a discharged battery to prevent sparking and possible explosion of battery gases.
