CAUTION:

Using a match near a battery can cause battery

gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this,

and some have been blinded. Use a flashlight if

you need more light.

Be sure the battery has enough water. You don’t

need to add water to the ACDelco Freedom

battery installed in every new GM vehicle. But if

a battery has filler caps, be sure the right amount

of fluid is there. If it is low, add water to take care

of that first. If you don’t, explosive gas could

be present.

Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.

Don’t get it on you. If you accidentally get it in

your eyes or on your skin, flush the place with

water and get medical help immediately.

6. Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose or

missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock.

The vehicles could be damaged, too.

Before you connect the cables, here are some basic

things you should know. Positive (+) will go to

positive (+) and negative (

-) will go to a heavy,

unpainted metal engine part or a body metal surface.

Don’t connect positive (+) to negative (

-) or you will

get a short that would damage the battery and maybe

other parts, too. And don’t connect negative (-) to

negative (

-) on the dead battery, as this can

cause sparks.

CAUTION:

Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you

badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts

once the engine is running.
