Proposition 65 Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Keep the top of the battery clean. If you store the machine in
a location where temperatures are extremely high, the battery
will run down more rapidly than if the machine is stored in a
location where the temperature is cool.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda
solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning it.
Do not remove the fill caps while cleaning the battery.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables,
negative (-) cable first, and scrape the clamps and terminals
separately. Connect the cables, positive (+) cable first, and
coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.
WARNING
Battery terminals or metal tools could short against
metal machine components causing sparks. Sparks
can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting
in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the machine.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
machine.
